Ingredients
•
8 cups self-rising flour
•
4 cups ground All-Bran® cereal
•
1 1/4 cups white sugar
•
1 3/4 cups brown sugar
•
1 teaspoon baking powder
•
3/4 teaspoon salt
•
4 1/2 sticks unsalted butter
•
4 cups heavy cream
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Line a high-rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, letting the paper overhang the sides for easy removal.
2
Combine flour, ground All-Bran®, white sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
3
Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Remove from the heat and mix in cream. Add flour mixture and mix until well combined.
4
Spread out batter into the prepared baking sheet and use a knife to cut into slices; this will make removing the rusks easier once baked.
5
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes. Reduce heat to 160 degrees F (70 degrees C) and leave rusks in the low temperature oven for 4 hours to dry. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
6
Cut into 80 slices.
