THEME: Dog Biscuit Mix in a Jar
Jamie R
Here's a great gift-in-a-jar idea for fellow dog lovers!
# 1-1/2 cups whole wheat flour
# 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
# 1-1/2 tsp. sugar
# 1 cup powdered milk
# 2/3 cup quick oats
# 1/3 cup yellow cornmeal
# 2 T. beef bouillon granules
Layer the above ingredients in a one quart jar in the order listed,
pressing each layer firmly before adding the next. Place a 2-piece
lid on the jar. Place a circle of fabric over the lid. Secure with a
piece of thin ribbon or raffia.
Attach a card to the jar with the following directions -
To Prepare the dog biscuits -
Empty the mix into a bowl, and stir the ingredients together. Cut in
1/2 cup Crisco®. Mix in 1 large, lightly beaten egg + 3/4 cup hot
water. Knead the dough for 5 minutes. Wrap in waxed paper and
refrigerate for one half hour. On a lightly floured surface, roll the
dough 1/2" thick and cut into dog bone shapes. Place on a
microwave-safe plate and microwave at 50% power for 5 minutes. Turn
biscuits over and microwave at 50% power for 2 more minutes. Repeat
with remaining dough. Place biscuits on wire racks to cool and harden
for a few hours before storing in an airtight container..
