When my daughter was a wee little babe and going through the teething phase, I tried everything under the sun to pacify her (frozen bagels, frozen waffles, and a wet face cloth). I also bought everything at the store that had the word “teething.” It got pretty expensive. I remember coming across a recipe online to make my own teething biscuits, but that was a few years ago, and I can’t locate it anymore. Instead I found something similar, courtesy of wholesomebabyfood.com. It’s eggless and wheatless!
Ingredients:
1 cup flour
1 cup dry infant rice cereal (flavored or unflavored)
3 tablespoons cooking oil
ice water
Directions:
- Preheat oven 425˚F.
- Mix flour and cereal.
- Gradually stir in oil. Mix a little ice water at a time (start with 1/4 cup) until dough begins to form a ball and pull away from the bowl.
- Roll out to the thickness of a cracker on a floured surface and cut into desired shapes.
- Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet 10-12 min. or until lightly brown. Cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container.

Sounds like a good idea. Maybe I’ll use this when my daughters molers come in.
