Doggie Treats

My chihuahua hates those little biscuits you buy in the store, or that the bank gives out but I like for her to eat them to help with her dental hygiene.  I've finally found one she'll eat, even raw, which defeats the purpose so she has to wait until they're baked.. I hope your favorite best friend likes them, they're really easy to make too..

Dotty's Favorite Biscuits

 

this recipe calls for meat drippings/juice but you can also use water and bullion.

Heat oven to 325*

3/4 cup meat juices (bullion/stock etc)
1/3 cup butter
1/2 cup powdered milk (you can buy in bulk at Winco)
1/2 teaspooon salt (I leave this out when I use bullion)
1 egg beaten
3 cups whole wheat flour (you can also buy in bulk at Winco)
(I also add shredded cheese sometimes)
In large bowl pour hot juice/bullion over butter and let melt.
Stir in powdered milk, salt and egg  (liquid needs to becool enough so you don't cook egg)

add flour 1/2 cup at a  time, mixing well after each addition . Knead 3 to 4 minutes, adding more flour if necessary to make a very stiff dough. Pat or roll to 1/2 inch thickness and cut into shapes. I have a cutter I got from a kit I picked up someplace. Along with this recipe. But as usual I've tweaked it.  

Place on a greased cookie sheet and bake at 325 for about 50 minutes.  I actually start  checking earlier if I make them thinner than 1/2" This makes about 1 1/4 lbs...
