Butter Beypazarı rusk is a traditional baked specialty from Beypazarı, a district of Ankara, Türkiye. Its dough is enriched with butter and baked until notably dry and crisp. The rusk is firm and crunchy, with a buttery flavour; it is made to keep its texture rather than resemble a soft, sweet cake.
In Türkiye, it is commonly enjoyed with tea at breakfast or as a snack during the day. You can briefly dip it in tea to soften it slightly, though leaving it in too long makes it lose its crunch. It is mainly a source of carbohydrates, with butter contributing to its fat content. For a more balanced snack, pair a small piece with fruit or a savoury topping.
