Ingredients

1 3/4 cups Whole wheat flour

1/2 cup Oatmeal

1/2 cup Cornmeal

1/4 cup Liver powder (available at Health food stores)

2 tablespoons Brewer's yeast powder

1/4 cup Bone meal powder

3 tablespoons Powdered milk

2 Eggs, lightly beaten

3 tablespoons Wheat germ oil (you may Substitute

1/2 cup Water

Preparation

"Why not bake a batch of cracker treats for your dog?

These biscuits seem to satisfy the discriminating canine palate. If you are wise, you'll make a double recipe. 325F. 40 to 50 minutes Preheat the oven to 325F.

In a large bowl or in the food processor, combine the flour, oatmeal, cornmeal, liver powder, brewer's yeast, bone meal, and powdered milk.

Stir in the eggs, oil, and water and mix thoroughly.

The dough will be very stiff and dry.

Remove the dough to a lightly floured surface or pastry cloth. Roll or pat it into a rectangle 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Cut into bone-shaped biscuits with a small knife, or use a bone-shaped cookie cutter.

Re-roll the leftover scraps of dough and cut into shapes until all the dough is used.

Place on a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 40 to 50 minutes until brown and dried through. Cool on a rack.

Yield: About 12 largebones or 24 small ones.
