And lots made with liver, to use as treats.
We wanted just Dog Biscuits; even this recipe had egg and powdered milk in it so this is how we did them:
1 cup boiling water
2 chicken stock cubes
About 2 tablespoons oil (we used vegetable, any would do)
3 cups wholemeal flour or a mixture
Oven 160c (in the fan oven I did them at 150 I think).
Pour boiling water onto stock cubes in a big mixing bowl, mix, add oil. Let it cool a little bit, but quite warm is fine.
Add flour, 1/2 cup or so at a time and mix in well. You'll have to use your hands at the end, knead a bit to a stiff dough.
Roll out to the thickness you want, they do rise a bit as they bake, so 1/4", 1/2 cm or so.
Use cutters or cut into squares/rectangles; put onto baking sheets (no need to grease) - they don't spread.
Bake for about 50 mins, till nicely coloured. They should be hard, but leave them in the switched-off oven for a couple of hours to harden more.
This made 107 biscuits, but a lot were rabbits which are small (the others were bones and stars
)You could add a bit of marmite or bovril for flavour. Don't worry about the salt in the stock cubes as all the recipes said to add salt, which we didn't, so they must need some.
They'll keep for ages, just like dog biscuits
I reckon they cost at the most 30p apart from the oven
