Hi everyone!
Not sure if this belongs here or in the baby food recipes section so move me if you need to :)
DS is mpi and I have been going crazy looking for biscuits for him (like baby mum mums). I have searched all over our town including health food stores, organic sections, etc., and the only thing I can find that doesn't have dairy or "may contain traces" of dairy is Farley's biscuits. The only problem with these is they have a lot of sugar in them :( Does anyone have a recipe for a softer biscuit or teething rusk, made with any type of flour, that has no dairy in it?
Thanks so much!

I have a couple of good ones from the Neocate website.
http://www.neocate.com/aaa_neocate/9961-cooking-with-neocate-low-allergy-rusks.html
We made them with squash and DS loved them, although I did find they didn't dissolve as well as I had hoped in his mouth. I also admit that I "eyeballed" the recipe more than I care to admit so that could be part (lots?) of the problem :-\
Lots of other great recipes on the Neocate links as well.
Have you tried rice cakes - they go over well with DS, moreso when he's teething!

That's great, I will check that website out! Thank you :)

I don't know any myself, but the website I frequent http://www.kidswithfoodallergies.org/ has a recipe database. A lot of recipes are free, by if you become a member, $25 a year, you get full access including a baby food section. You can then go in an tick off any foods they are allergic to and it will come up with a slue of recipes. :)

Here is the recipe if anyone would like it :) :
3/4 cup rice flour or other permitted flour
1/4 cup milk free margarine
2 tbs veggie purée
Pinch salt
Combine all ingredients together. Knead to form a stiff dough. Add 1-2 tsp water if needed. Avoid adding too much water as the rusks will become hard.
Roll into finger sized sausages and cut into 5cm lengths. Bake at 180C for 20-25 minutes or until rusks begin to brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Store in an airtight container.
I haven't tried them yet, I'll be making them this weekend when dh is home!
Thanks Mashimaro for directing me to the site! :)

Thank you Spectra for directing me to the food allergy site as well :) That will be great when Dylan gets older and I'm trying to figure out what to make for dinner!!

Great biscuit recipe! Thanks for sharing.
What milk free margarine do you use? I have to find some....
-
I use a brand called "Celeb" (Canada) that says lactose free on the front. I checked the ingredients, and no milk products! Start by looking at lactose free ones, but still read the ingredients. One lactose free one still had modified milk ingredients in it ::)
I think I've read that Fleischman's (spelling?) brand has a milk free one too.

Thanks! :-*

In the UK there is a brand called SURE. They do a dairy free magarine and a dairy-soy free margarine, which is basically solidified sunflower oil. Doesn't taste nice (to me) but DS doesn't mind it!
