Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the flour, whole wheat flour, wheat germ, dry milk, and salt in a bowl.
- Cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles cornmeal.
- Beat the brown sugar and egg together, then add to the flour mixture.
- Gradually add 1/2 cup water to make a stiff dough.

Tips & Substitutions
For a healthier twist, you can substitute half of the shortening with unsweetened applesauce. If your dog is sensitive to certain grains, consider using oat flour instead of wheat flour. Make sure to roll the dough evenly for consistent baking. Keep an eye on the biscuits as baking times may vary depending on your oven. This recipe is great for personalizing; adding pureed pumpkin or peanut butter can enhance flavor.
