Tea Rusk is a slightly sweet, crispy & crunchy double-baked butter cake! It is one of my favorite tea-time cookies to munch on! This crispy tea rusk is pure bliss with the tea or tastes even better while dunking in the tea!
In our place, it is known as tea rusk, which is popular in all the bakeries! In some other places, it is also known as cake rusk, as it is a double-baked cake! Whatever it is, if you are someone like me you are definitely gonna enjoy this! You may half the qty and try it!
If you like your tea rusk to be slightly yellow you may add yellow food color to the batter. I’m so happy that it turns out so perfect, that it tasted better than the bakery ones! We enjoyed every bit of it! Skip the store-bought ones and make them at home instead, you won’t believe how easy and tasty it is!
