How To Make Teething Biscuits

I'm a little bit obsessed about rusks or teething biscuits. I've tested tested tested tested all week and this recipe for teething biscuits or rusks is brilliant. It basically provides a lovely firm, hard biscuit which dissolves as the baby chews on it. But it doesn't have any sugar. So to start with. You want two cups of flour. Any flour that you like.

Then I'm going to mix half a teaspoon of baking powder, give it a bit of a stir, and then create a well, add an egg, and then four tablespoons of fruit puree. so I'm using an apple and plum puree. You can use any fruit puree. As long as it's got a nice thick consistency like this. Two Three. Four. Start to mix it like that. That is it. You've literally just got to get your hands involved and form a nice ball of dough and it's as simple as that. Now it's coming together I'm just going to tip it out onto the surface and just knead it into a nice ball.

Grab a baking tray with some non-stick parchment paper.Get a piece roll into a ball and then a sausage, what I want to do is make it a bit like a rectangle because then it's a bit flatter surface area, because it will be easier for your baby to hold. Obviously depends how you make them, but I think you should get about twelve little rusks out of these. So they have got a little bit of baking powder in which means they will rise slightly and expand. So don't put them too close together. I'm gonna lightly dust these with cinnamon, but you could use parmesan to make a savory biscuit.

You could dust them a bit. Or even into the mix you could put orange jest. And again it just allowing them to explore some different flavours and textures. So. half of these are going to have a little bit of cinnamon. They smell so good. Spread that into it. And then onto these we're going to put some grated Parmesan. Sprinkle them on and then I'm going to press them onto each rusk. So these are gonna go into my oven which has been preheated at 180 degrees for about 30 to 40 minutes, so that they're nice and firm.

So my rusks have been in for a good forty-minutes. Already rock-solid. So leave your rusks on there for a couple minutes just cool down. But you really want to get them on your cooling trays as quickly as possible, and then once they're nice and cool just store them in an airtight container. Could then they'll keep for about a week or two. Perfect snack for your baby to eat any time. Don't forget to hit subscribe. I've got loads more ideas and recipes on how to feed your family.
