Homemade Dog Biscuits

Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/2 cup powdered milk
6 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg -- beaten
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup ice water

Preparation:

Combine the flour, milk, salt, garlic powder and sugar. Cut in butter until mixture resembles cornmeal. Mix in egg; then add enough ice water to make a ball. Pat dough to 1/2" thick on a lightly oiled cookie sheet. Cut out shapes with a cookie cutter or biscuit cutter and bake on cookie sheet for 25 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.

To vary the flavor and texture, at the time the egg is added, add any of the following: 1 c. purred cooked green vegetables or carrots; 6 T. whole wheat or rye kernels; 3 T. liver powder. (The last two items are available in health food stores.)

Butter, margarine, shortening, or meat juices may be used.
