Ingredients

• 300 grams gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 100 grams unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 150 grams granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 60 ml milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes using an electric mixer.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.

Step 6

Divide the dough into two equal parts and shape each into a log about 25 cm long and 5 cm wide. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the logs are golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 150°C (300°F).

Step 9

Using a sharp serrated knife, gently slice the logs into 1 cm thick slices. Lay the slices cut side up back onto the baking sheet.

Step 10

Return the slices to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, turning them over halfway through the baking time, until they are dry and crisp.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack before storing or serving.

Step 12

Enjoy your gluten-free rusk with your favorite cup of tea or coffee!
