I haven't met a dog yet who didn't like these treats, even dogs who don't normally like dog biscuits think they are pretty tasty. Easy to store, or to pack along for a hike, guaranteed to energize your dog after a long walk. They have just about everything that is good in them including protiens, carbs, and most importantly- beef or chicken. Not recommended for human consumption, but they could be eaten if you had to.
4 c. broth- beef or chicken
2 c. powdered milk
3 c. cornmeal
2 c. wheat flour
6 c. rolled oats
4 eggs
1 head of garlic, minced
1 c. peanut butter
(optional: minced dried liver, chopped nuts)
Simmer broth over low heat on stove until it is reduced to about 1 cup. Mix broth and the rest of ingredients. Add water or flour till dough is wet enough to stick together, but not so wet like a pancake batter. Roll dough out till it is flat and about 3/4 inch thick. Cut into squares- a good size for training treats is about 1 inch by 1 inch. Place squares on a baking sheet, and bake at 300 degrees for 40 minutes. Turn off oven and let biscuits sit in the oven until the oven is cool- at which time the treats should be crunchy and dry. Store in an airtight container or zip lock bags for up to 3 weeks. Extra biscuits can be frozen for storage. Makes about 100 biscuits.
