Ma's rusks

After spending a large chunk of the afternoon doing jigsaw puzzles with the boys, we went to visit the old people. I was with Caroline for about 15 minutes, and took some rice for her doves, which Aaron sprinkled on the floor. Caroline thought he was just absolutely the loveliest boy, to bring rice for her doves. I made my very first batch of rusks later in the day, and although the recipe is easy, it was tricky mixing the large quantity of ingredients together in a bowl which only just housed them! The rusks are still a work in progress though, as after baking for an hour, the slab had to cool down before slicing, and now they are in the oven to dry overnight. Will see how they are in the morning.
