Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup powdered milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 6 tablespoons butter or margarine
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons beef bouillon
  • 1 cup water

Instructions

  1. Mix all ingredients thoroughly.
  2. Knead the dough until smooth.
  3. Roll out on a floured surface to desired thickness.
  4. Cut into shapes using cookie cutters or knives.
  5. Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes until golden brown.

Tips & Substitutions

For a crunchier texture, consider adding a tablespoon of cornmeal to the dough. You can substitute the beef bouillon with vegetable bouillon for a vegetarian version. If your dough feels too sticky, add a bit more flour. Make sure to knead well to develop the texture, similar to what you’d do for a pie crust or bread dough.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these biscuits as a special treat for your furry friend, perhaps alongside a homemade dog meal like the Six Layer Vegetable Dinner for added variety. They can also be crumbled over your dog’s regular food for a flavor boost. Always ensure fresh water is available when serving treats.

Storage & Reheating

Store the cooked doggie biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze them in a zip-top bag, where they can last for up to three months. To serve, simply thaw at room temperature or warm in the oven for a few minutes to refresh their texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use whole wheat flour instead of regular wheat flour?

Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour for regular wheat flour, which may give the biscuits a denser texture and added nutrition. Just be aware that the dough may need a bit more water to incorporate properly, so adjust as needed.

How do I know when the biscuits are fully baked?

If they aren’t baked long enough, they may remain soft and chewy, so it’s essential to achieve that golden color for the best texture.

Can I add other flavors or ingredients to the biscuits?

Absolutely! You can add mashed sweet potato, pumpkin puree, or even peanut butter to enhance the flavor. Just be sure any additions are safe for dogs, avoiding ingredients like chocolate or onions. Adjust the flour slightly to maintain the right dough consistency.
