if you had an older baby, like almost one, could you use milk or soy milk (since you can add it int heir food by then) or even breast milk, or would breast milk be a bit runny?]]> Sat, 05 Jan 2008 17:11:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10816&PID=271312&title=rusks#271312 <![CDATA[Rusks : *Bump* ]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10816&PID=271288&title=rusks#271288 Author: Glow

I have a great recipe for Muesli teething Biscuits, (exactly like rusks, but a heck of a lot cheaper!).

1C flour
1C Farex Muesli
1tsp Baking Powder
2Tbsp Spreadable butter or Margarine
1/4C Sugar (I made them without the sugar and they were fine!)
1/2C prepared formula

Mix everything except milk in a bowl. Rub butter through until completely mixed.
Add milk in a think stream and mix. Stop adding milk when you can press the dough together to make a ball that is not dry and crumbly. Roll into an evenly shaped cylinder 20cm long. Dip a sharp serrated knife into cold water and cut into 24 pieces. Flatten or roll into crayon shapes (I did this, easier to hold).
Bake at 150 degrees celcius for 20-30 minutes until lightly browned. Leave to cool completely before putting into container.

This works, they last for ages, and are a lot cheaper. They don't break, the just go soggy like a rusk, so minimal chance of choking for baby!]]> Tue, 25 Sep 2007 18:02:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10816&PID=219175&title=rusks#219175 <![CDATA[Rusks : You can actually roll up a piece...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10816&PID=215436&title=rusks#215436 Author: meow

You can actually roll up a piece of bread with a bit of marmite on it and the edges cut off, and put it in the microwave for 30 secs or so.

Sounds weird, but it goes really hard after about 30 seconds when you take it out!]]> Tue, 18 Sep 2007 18:30:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10816&PID=215436&title=rusks#215436 <![CDATA[Rusks : apparently also, the old fashioned...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10816&PID=215382&title=rusks#215382 Author: busymum

apparently also, the old fashioned way to make rusks is to put marmite on toast and then cook them a bit longer in the oven to make them properly hard. (Sounds yuk lol!)]]> Tue, 18 Sep 2007 16:37:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10816&PID=215382&title=rusks#215382 <![CDATA[Rusks : They&#039;re made by Tommee Tippee,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10816&PID=215282&title=rusks#215282 Author: Andie

They're made by Tommee Tippee, called 'fresh food feeders'.  About $10 at the supermarket or baby shop.  But shop bought rusks are a good size already for baby to hold and bits won't break off them and choke baby... more they just get thoroughly slimed!  A pretty safe snack though.

Hi. I want to give my 6 month old a rusk as he is teething. I have heard you can get muslin bags that are safe to put food in for babys with apple or rusks to avoid choking. Can anyone tell me where I get these bags or suggest another idea? Cheers]]> Tue, 18 Sep 2007 12:12:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10816&PID=215185&title=rusks#215185
