Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix flour, oats, and beaten eggs in a large bowl.
- Dissolve bouillon cubes or granules in hot water.
- Add the hot water mixture to the bowl along with cold water, Worcestershire or soy sauce, and other ingredients.
- Mix well until the dough is rather stiff.
- Drop the dough in any size or shape you like onto a greased cookie sheet.
- Bake at 325° to 350°F for 1 hour.
- Watch to prevent burning.
- Turn off the oven and leave the biscuits inside for another 1 hour.
- Allow the biscuits to cool completely before packaging.
Tips & Substitutions
For a healthier alternative, you can substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour. If your dog has a sensitive stomach, consider using low-sodium broth instead of bouillon cubes. Ensure the dough is not too sticky; if it is, add a bit more flour until you achieve the right consistency. You can also try different flavorings like adding a little peanut butter for variety.
Serving Suggestions
These dog biscuits are perfect as a standalone treat or can be crumbled over your pet's food for added flavor. Consider pairing them with fresh water or even a small side of plain yogurt for a tasty snack. They make a great addition to any homemade dog treat assortment, complementing other recipes like Bonnie'S Favorite Indonesian Pork Roast.
Storage & Reheating
Store the cooled biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, you can freeze them in a freezer-safe bag or container; they will last for up to three months. To reheat, simply place them in a warm oven for a few minutes to restore their crunchiness.
