What really is the difference between the two, other than that a stick of biscotti at the coffee shop is smaller, less tasty, and costs about as much as a whole box of cake rusk?
and apparently no american’s heard of cake rusk. could this be next big thing?
Biscotti is more richer in taste and softer to bite, and rusk..well rusk just taste like dried bread with a tint of sugar..i never had a rusk with raisins..but with biscottis, you can add all sorts of nuts..
True. "Rusk" doesn't quite pack the punch. On the other hand, biscotti sounds something that you would actually pay to eat. If it was ruscotti or something...
incorrect mon ami, you can make gourmet rusk and even papay. I used to make them myself quite often until about a year ago, will start making it again. ABdulah send me your addy, I will send you some from my next batch of home made gourmet rusk and papay when i make em.
kami yaara, i would really like to know as well how you manage to do it. Everytime, I tried dipping my papay in chaah, the dipped half never came back out..or maybe, i dip it for too long..so, your gourmet home cooked papays may take care of this dilemma as well..thanks in advance..
not papay, rusk, but papay can be made the same way, I mean all its just dehydrated/dried bread/cake, you can find the recipe for rusk anywhere, that would be the generic one, you can flavour it with fruits, nuts etc as you like, and if you got one of em home food dehydrater gizmo, you are in business. I experimented once with generic store bought sara lee pound cake, the thing turned out very well so i experimented and voila this is something my friends look forward to when I make it, but its really not that tough.
now the secret is out, go forth..bake n dry and enjoy dunkin in chai
