Baby Biscuits

No, not the little tiny progeny of normal size biscuits, nor a recipe from Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal", but teething biscuits for human babies.

The first time my de facto grandson visited our house I was pretty much at a loss for anything to do. If there's one subject I know next to nothing about, it's babies. The last direct contact I'd had with an actual baby was long ago when my Sister was one. Since I was only six years old at that time I don't recall too much about it.

I did notice, however, that babies like to eat. I remembered that my King Arthur Flour Cookbook included a recipe for Teething Biscuits. I retired to the kitchen, leaving the hands-on baby care in more capable hands of Mom and Grandma.

• 1/2 c Milk
  
• 1/4 c Vegetable Oil
  
• 1/4 c Molasses
  
• 1-1/2 c AP Flour
  
• 1-1/2 c Whole Wheat Flour
  

Blend the Wet Ingredients

Stir the Flours into the Wet Ingredients

Knead the mixture to make a smooth Dough

Let the Dough rest, covered, 20 minutes

Roll Dough out to 1/4" thickness

Cut in 1-2" shapes (I used a star shapped cutter) and place on baking sheet

Let them rest another 15-20 minutes

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Bake approx 30 minutes until quite hard

Store in refrigerator or freezer and serve cold

They tasted rather bland to me, but the 9 month old baby I had available for testing approved.
