According to Wikipedia , A rusk is a hard, dry biscuit or a twice-baked bread. It is sometimes used as a baby teething food. In India it’s an all time favorite tea time snack , mostly popular in North India. One can find these mini crisps in each and every tea stall . I have tried these for the first time and my family loved them. Next time when someone crave for rusk , I know how to make them. So let’s start the recipe .yum
