We all enjoy a comforting rusk or two with a nice cup of tea or coffee and all the better when they are homemade. These tasty treats are quicker to make than the traditional method, so a batch can be whipped up and ready in no time.
Microwave Oven Buttermilk Rusks
Ingredients
500g cake flour
5ml bicarbonate of soda
5ml cream of tartar
5ml salt
5ml baking powder
200g brown sugar
130g butter
300ml buttermilk
5ml oil
Method
- Sift all the dry ingredients and then add the sugar.
- Rub the butter into the dry ingredients.
- Add the buttermilk, oil and combine.
- Roll the mixture into small balls, place in a microwave safe container and cook on high for 12 to 15 minutes.
- Allow to cool and then separate the rusks.
- Cook on low for 50 minutes or in a cool oven (100°C) until dry – about 3 hours.

Thanks Michael.
‘cook on high’ what setting is this on the microwave, and what would be ‘low’?
Thanks!
Hi Lindsvee, welcome and thanks for stopping by. High would be full power – 100% and low would around 40%. Hope this helps. Have a super day. 🙂
On the microwave settings – what would be ‘high’ and ‘low’ (I have numbers)
I hope I was able to answer your question in the previous comment. 🙂
Yes thank you very much – will be giving these a try soon 🙂

what container would you use and would it have a lid
Hi Kari, thanks for stopping by. You can use any microwave safe container – a loaf tin shape works well. Use it without a lid. Hope this helps. Happy baking. 🙂
