BUTTON BISCUITS -- your dog will love you

3/21/2009

5 Comments

 

   I made these dog biscuits for Pipi, piercing the little rounds with a chop stick, thinking they would look like a button.  Instead, I only see a pig's snout (or maybe, a Frenchie's?).  Oh well, the important thing is she seems to love them.

  Pipi was out of her store-bought biscuits, which she expects me to  place in her mouth several times throughout the day.  When a biscuit occasionally misses her mouth and falls to the floor, I get a disgusted look that clearly says, Hey, can we get this right?  Pick it up and try again!
  I was ready to make the pet-store-run to replenish her French Champagne tin, which holds her biscuits and sets on the floor next to her water dish, but had all of the ingredients (organic, of course) to make my own. 

  They actually go together very quickly and cost much less than what I usually pay.  Pipi highly recommends them.

                                         DOG BISCUITS

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 cup oatmeal
• 1/2 cup organic peanut butter
• 1 cup whole milk
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1 organic egg

  Combine the flour, baking powder and oatmeal.  Stir in the peanut butter, then add the milk, egg and butter.  Knead the dough together.  Add more flour, if necessary, to get a soft dough that is no longer sticky.  Roll the dough to 1/4-inch thickness on a lightly-floured surface and cut out with your dog's favorite cookie cutter.  Place onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in a preheated 375˚F oven for 20 minutes.  Cool on a baking rack when out of the oven.

This is possibly the cutest picture ever. And, even in a home of kitties only, I feel like baking these for the dogs and dog lovers in my life.

Pipi,
Boz and Gracie send their best, though a bit disgruntled that I have yet to make them these treats. (This weekend I promise.)
