Tips & Substitutions
To ensure your teething biscuits are hard enough, make sure to bake them until they are a deep golden brown. If you want to substitute sugar, consider using honey for a natural sweetness, but reduce the liquid slightly. For added flavor, you can mix in a pinch of cinnamon. If you prefer a different shape, try cutting them into animal shapes for fun.
Serving Suggestions
These hard teething biscuits can be served plain or with a side of fruit puree for an added treat. They pair beautifully with a warm cup of herbal tea, making them a delightful snack for parents while their little ones enjoy the biscuits. For a fun twist, serve them alongside the Pink Layer Party Cake during a baby shower or birthday celebration.
Storage & Reheating
Store the teething biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing them in a zip-top bag, where they can last for up to three months. To reheat, simply place them in a preheated oven at 300°F for about 5-10 minutes until warmed through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, whole wheat flour can be used to make the biscuits healthier, though they may be denser. If using whole wheat, consider adding a little extra moisture or reducing the amount of flour slightly to maintain the right dough consistency.
How can I tell when the biscuits are done baking?
The biscuits should be a deep golden brown color when done. You can also tap them gently; if they sound hollow, they are likely fully baked. Baking time can vary, so keep an eye on them towards the end of the recommended time.
Are these biscuits suitable for infants?
These biscuits are typically safe for older infants who are already chewing solid foods. However, always check with a pediatrician before introducing new foods, especially if your baby has not yet experienced hard textures.
