Those of you who know me well knows that I have a soft spot for animals. I have three mutts at home that loves snacks, and snacks these days are not cheap. Besides the costs involved, I always want to have the best for my dogs. You won't know what chemicals are added into the commercial dog snacks, so I decided to make them myself.
I found this recipe while surfing the net for dog snacks. As I'm not sure how well my mutts will like this, I halved everything on the recipe, replaced the bacon oil with pork oil, as I don't know if my mutt's stomach will agree with the nitrates used in the curing of the bacon.
Ingredients
1 egg
half a cup of milk
quarter cup of water
10 tablespoons of pork oil
2.5 cups of wheat flour
In a bowl, mix the egg with all the liquid ingredients
Slowly add it into the flour, stir until it forms a dough
When the dough is done, dust some flour on a clean flat surface and with a rolling pin, roll the dough until it's about 1cm thick
You can now cut it to any shape desired, with a cookie cutter, and place them on a greased cookie tray
Put it in a pre heated 175 degree celsius oven and let it bake for 40 minutes. The smell will permeate the whole kitchen, so be prepared for some mouth watering moments ;-)
Once that's done, take it out of the oven, let it rest on a wire rack to cool off before keeping them in a cookie jar. Too bad the mutts enjoyed it, if not I'd be perfectly happy to eat them on my own!
