Homemade organic baby rusks

I can't believe I used to religiously buy baby rusks for my son. This is the first time I have attempted making them, without a recipe, and they were SO easy. Not to mention healthy and quick (well, a quick preparation time), and budget friendly. The best thing though is how much both of my children enjoyed them.

Ingredients
1 cup organic wholemeal spelt flour
1/3 cup sesame seeds
1/2 vanilla pod
1 tablespoon cashew paste (so long as you know your baby isn't allergic)
1/3 cup filtered water

In a bowl, combine all the ingredients (scraping the seeds from the vanilla pod) until it forms a firm dough ball. Dampen your hands and roll the dough into rusks size biscuits.

Bake in a really low oven (around 110'c) for 3 hours, until they are hard. Leave to cool and dry and then store in an airtight container for up to a week.

Once you can get over their more-than-passing-resemblance to turds, you will love making these.
