Hot Cross Rusks: All the Flavour of a Hot Cross Bun

Drizzle and Dip | 06.04.2026 16:47
These hot cross rusks deliver all the flavours of a hot cross bun but in a rusk. I adapted my most loved classic South African buttermilk rusk recipe to include warm spices, raisins, and citrus, and the result tastes exactly like a hot cross bun in crunchy, dunkable form. Perfect with tea or coffee, and a good reason to put the kettle on over Easter or anytime. I have provided instructions to make these in an oven and an air fryer.
