More low carb than keto but still delicious
6 grams carbs per rusk
Since making the original video on how to make rusks we have gone onto a keto diet so I have experimented with the original recipe and have come up with this recipe which is equally delicious but I believe better for you health-wise due to the reduction in carbs and the replacement of margarine with butter. Feel free to do your own experimenting but if you do, try to keep the total of ingredients in red around about 1 Kg.
The method remains essentially the same so and you can get detail on that by watching the video below but obviously replace the ingredients used in the video with these:
