That's right I said dog biscuits. If you have kids this is a great recipe to try. Not only can the kids help they can eat 'em too. Who knows, maybe you can teach them some new commands: sit.....stay...... clean your room....
I especially like to make these around Christmas. They make great Christmas gifts for my dog lover friends. I use mini- christmas themed cookie cutters or bone shaped cookie cutters. I usually pack them in chinese take-out boxes with a little gift tissue. I bet you all want to be my friends now, eh? A few notes: I typically add more bouillon powder than suggested and if you really want to see your dog's tongue slap himself silly add same bacon fat. According to my dog, Remi, Emeril was right - it is a pork fat thing.
1 cup rolled oats
1/3 cup margarine
1 cup boiling water
3/4 cup cornmeal
1 tbs sugar
2 tsp chicken or beef flavored instant bouillon
1/2 cup milk
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 egg beaten
2-3 cups plain (not self rising) whole wheat or white flour.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease your cookie sheet (that is not a euphamism).
Combine oats, margarine, and boiling water. Let stand 10 minutes. Stir in cornmeal, sugar, bouillon, milk, cheese and egg. Mix well. Add flour 1 cup at a time until a stiff dough is formed.
Knead in remaining flour until dough is smooth and no longer sticky, 3-4 minutes. Roll or pat out to 1/2 inch thickness, cut out with a cookie cutter. Place 1 inch apart on cookie sheet. Bake 35-45 minutes until golden brown. Makes about 8 dozen small biscuits.
