Baby Rusks in a Thermomix®

January 22, 2023

My kids used to love the Farley Baby Rusks. They would chomp on them for hours. They would also lose them, gag on them – shove them down the back of their mouth. So I decided to see if I could make ROUND Rusks and it worked.

Mine look like a sliced bagel. Easy to hang on to, easy to chew, hard to choke on. These are Ivy tried and tested and she just loved them. They get “goopy” but don’t fall apart like the original Rusks which is great.

I use a Zester or grater to take off the sharp edges so that the rusks don't hurt the gums.
