White Chocolate Chai Rusks

Question: if it’s winter and you haven’t baked a batch of rusks, is it really winter at all? I don’t think I can ever remember a winter that didn’t start with my mother making a ridiculous amount of rusks. It happened like clockwork and it was (and still is) the only time I ever eat rusks. My mom’s recipe is always my go-to and I love giving it different variations – like these Maltabella rusks I made 2 years ago and this White Chocolate Pecan Chai version is probably the most decadent one yet! 

While playing around with the recipe, I realised that Nutriday Double Cream yoghurt makes an even more delicious rusk than buttermilk – which is convenient because most of us have a tub in our fridge but don’t generally have buttermilk ‘lying’ around. The slight acidity and extra creaminess of the yoghurt is just perfect with the white chocolate! 

White Chocolate Chai Rusks

To make them super decadent, I packed some of my white baking chocolate (which you can buy here) on top so that when it bakes, it comes out super caramel-ly and each bite is filled with caramelised white chocolate. 

The best part is that you can double or even triple the recipe and store it in an airtight container for whenever the craving hits!

Maltabella Rusks

Maltabella Rusks

These Maltabella rusks are a twist on my mother’s famous buttermilk rusks – perfect with a cup of tea!

 

Maltabella Rusks

Question: if winter arrives and you haven’t baked a batch of buttermilk rusks, is it really winter at all? I don’t think I can ever remember a winter that didn’t start with my mother making buttermilk rusks. It happened like clockwork and it was (and still is) the only time I ever eat rusks. There’s nothing like a steaming cup of sweet rooibos tea with a buttermilk rusk.

My childhood also featured steaming bowls of maltabella porridge during winter with dollops of butter and a sprinkling of sugar.  So when I combined both winter morning favourites, I got… Maltabella rusks! 

In case you’re not sure what maltabella is, it’s a porridge made from malted sorghum flour. It’s creamy, toasty and comforting like a warm hug. It’s really quite odd that we don’t eat more sorghum in South Africa. It has been cultivated and eaten in Africa for far longer than maize has – Sorghum is our very own South African superfood. It’s a pity it doesn’t get as good of a PR job as quinoa or freekeh because nutrient-wise, it’s loaded with good stuff and is high in protein.  It’s also gluten-free, a lot cheaper than any of the other ‘fancy’ Instagram-famous grains, and it hasn’t travelled halfway around the world (sustainable too – tick!). So why is it so hard to find sorghum grain on supermarket shelves? You can’t. You can only find Maltabella porridge. So. Friggin. Weird. 

 Maltabella Rusks

Something else that’s really weird is the fact that amasi or maas is often a lot cheaper than buttermilk. Did you know that it amasi is exactly the same as buttermilk? It’s simply labelled/branded differently. As far as using it in recipes goes, the two are completely interchangeable.  Odd, right? What’s not odd though, is the maltabella in these rusks. It makes them super crunchy, gives the rusks a slightly malty flavour and bumps up the nutritional value quite a lot. They are my new favourite breakfast – dunked in cup after cup of milky, sweet rooibos tea! 

Do you enjoy Maltabella as much as I do?

Ingredients
  1. 240g soft brown sugar
  2. 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  3. 500ml amasi or buttermilk
  4. 500g self-raising flour
  5. 500g maltabella (I used the quick-cook version)
  6. 250g salted butter or margarine, softened
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees celcius (160 if you’re using a fan-forced oven). Grease 2 x standard loaf tins.
  2. Whisk the sugar and eggs until light and creamy. Add the amasi or buttermilk. Sift the flour and Maltabella into a large separate bowl and rub in the butter or margarine.
  3. Add the buttermilk mixture and mix to form a sticky dough. Pinch off golf-ball-sized pieces of dough, roll them neatly and pack them tightly together in a single layer in a greased baking tray or bread loaf tin. Bake for 50 minutes - 1 hour or until golden and a skewer inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool completely.
  4. Break the cooked dough into pieces along the lines of the original balls, lay out flat on baking sheets and leave in an oven heated to 100ºC overnight or until completely dry, at least 8 hours. Store the rusks in an airtight container.
