Save Money with Homemade Dog Biscuits

You can make your own dog biscuits and save about 40% to 50% over the store bought ones. Here is how you do it.
Mix together in a large bowl: 4 tsp salt ½ cup dry skim milk powder 1 cup cornmeal 2 cups cracked wheat (bulgur) 1 cup rye fl our 2 cups whole-wheat fl our 3 ½ cups white fl our Add to this: 1 envelope instant dry yeast that has been dissolved in ¼ cup warm water 3 cups chicken broth Stir together and roll out dough to a thickness of ¼". Cut out shapes with cookie cutters. Bone shapes might be nice but your dog really doesn’t care what the shapes of the biscuits are. Candy cane shapes (from Christmas baking) are usually a good size and shape. Place cut dough on a greased cookie sheet. Beat one egg with a tsp of milk and brush on the cut dough. Bake them for 45 minutes in a 300 Degree F. oven. Turn off the oven after 45 minutes and leave the biscuits in the oven overnight (or for 8 hours) to harden. Makes about 30 large biscuits.
