Cutting board Paring knife Kitchen scale Mixing bowl Airfryer Do NOT buy a product without checking freshness Do not cut too large: choking hazard NEVER leave an apricot pit in the recipe Always remove tough kale stems Do not add salt: baby's immature kidneys NEVER serve skyr with lactose if baby is allergic Cut ALL pieces the same size for even cooking For 12-18 months: thinner pieces (1 cm) CRITICAL: apricot pits MUST be removed completely Skyr is high-protein but watch for lactose allergy Check LABELS of all products Take out 30 min before for better incorporation 2
Mix the breadcrumbs and kale in a large bowl Add the skyr pieces and apricot cubes, mix gently Add the beaten egg as binder Pour in the olive oil and half of the dill Mix with a wooden spoon Shape the sticks with damp hands (length 5 cm) Coat each stick with a thin layer of breadcrumbs Lightly spray with olive oil Place on a tray lined with parchment Let rest 5 min in the fridge Large bowl Wooden spoon Fork Clean hands Tray lined with parchment Do not overmix: elastic dough Do not add too much flour: sticks become too dense Do not forget to shape tightly: otherwise it crumbles Do not make sticks too big: max 6 cm length Do not leave air in the sticks Always check egg freshness If the dough is too sticky: add 1 tsp rice flour If too dry: add 1 tsp liquid (water or adapted milk) Shape with damp hands: the sticks won't stick Make uniform sticks for even cooking Vary sizes according to age For 24-36 months: bigger sticks 3
