Baby Food Recipes!

Homemade Rusks

2 cups plain wholemeal flour
2 tablespoons of cold butter
1/2 cup (approximately) water or milk
1 teaspoon blackstrap molasses (optional - it's very high in iron)

Rub the butter into the flour until it's the texture of fine breadcrumbs. Mix in enough water or milk to make a soft dough (also add in molasses at this stage if you want). Give it a bit of a knead. Roll into finger sized lengths and bake at 180 degrees until crisp, maybe around 40 minutes? Turn them halfway. Cool on a rack.

These are really yummy. I eat more of them than Kynan LOL! I prefer them without molasses and sometimes I sprinkle the ones I make for me with some chunky salt before baking.
