Cornbread dog biscuits


From Cool Pet Treats by Pam Price.

Canine Cheddar Cornbread

1 cup rolled oats
1/3 cup butter, cut into small pieces
1 cup boiling water
3/4 cup cornmeal
1 tbsp. sugar
2 teaspoons chicken or beef instant bouillon
1/2 cup milk
4 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded (about 1 cup)
1 egg
2 cups flour

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a baking sheet. Combine the oats, butter and boiling water and let stand for 10 minutes. Add in the cornmeal, sugar, bouillon, milk, shredded cheese and egg. Then mix in the flour, adding a little bit more to get a stiff dough if needed. Knead the dough on a floured counter top and then roll to 1/2 inch thick. Cut with a 2-inch cookie cutter and bake for 35-45 minutes or until browned. Turn off oven and let sit in oven for a couple of hours if possible to help the biscuits dry out some. If making larger or smaller biscuits then adjust the time as necessary.

These were very well received by all the dogs who tried them. Crunchy, yummy, they even smelled good to the humans as they were baking!

Trish, I love this. I've been thinking it would be fun to try and make dog treats for Xyla. Maybe I'll give it a whirl.
