How to do
Whisk the egg in a blender at high speed until it reaches the consistency of cream.
Add sugar; add the butter at room temperature and continue to whisk it for a few more minutes.
Gradually add cinnamon, flour, wheat gem and salt and stir with a wooden spoon with small movements.
The dough should have a consistency like play dough or maybe a little softer.
Place baking paper on the tray.
Grease the baking paper with a napkin.
Grease your hands.
Take the dough and place it on tray.
Roll out the dough with your fingers and make it flat.
If you want to obtain a crispy form, the dough should be very thin; but if you prefer softer biscuits, dough can be a little thicker.
Grease a sharp knife with the grease you used for the tray.
Cut the dough in strips a little thicker than your finger so that your baby can easily grab these.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and bake it for 25-30 minutes.
Tips
To avoid dough sticking to the knife, clean the knife with a grease-applied napkin.
Cooking time depends on the thickness of the biscuits. Thinner ones will cook in a much shorter time.
If you are going to use raisins and dried fruits, tear them in two or three.
Process the dried fruits in a food processor until you get a powder form.
After it cools down, store in an airtight container.
Warnings
Generally walnut is served to babies after they are 1 year old.
However nowadays many doctors advise giving walnuts after month 6.
Consult your doctor before giving walnuts to your baby.
You should be cautious when feeding babies with products that contain wheat.
Wheat contains gluten and babies are very responsive to gluten.
Gurme Bebek advises you to give wheat products to your baby after month 8.
Please consult your doctor about wheat products.
We used a little sugar and salt in this recipe.
If your baby is not used to these, remove them from the recipe.
Sweeten it with fruits instead of sugar or add honey or molasses when the food is tepid.
Keep in Mind
You may serve these and similar foods with a fruit puree sauce. This may be a great sauce for apple puree grated with a glass grate.
Enjoy your lovely biscuits; let your baby have some fun with them as he feeds himself and you watch him proudly. Bon Appetite!
If you show your baby how to dip the food in this sauce, he will get used to it in no time.
Self-feeding is very important in terms of the first relationship babies build with food.
Start this process when your baby's motor skills are developed enough to allow them to grab the food with their fingers, put it into their mouths and chew the bites.
These healthy and delicious homemade snacks will support self-feeding process for your babies and the little ones will really love them!
