Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2 | Eggs |
| 1/2 | Cup bacon fat |
| 1/8 | Cup cheddar cheese |
| 2 | Cups milk |
| 1 1/2 | Cups wheat germ |
| 1/2 | Cup oats |
| 1/2 | Cup cornmeal |
| 1 | Cup whole wheat flour |
| 1/4 | Cup wheat germ |
| 1/4 | Cup oats |
| 3 1/2 | Cups whole wheat flour |
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Dough: Using a mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine all ingredients except for the whole wheat flour in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
-
-
Incorporate Flour: Gradually add the whole wheat flour to the mixture, continuing to mix until the dough reaches a stiff consistency that is easy to handle and roll into balls.
-
Preheat the Oven: Position the lower oven rack above the middle rack and preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
-
Form the Biscuits: Roll the dough into small balls and place them on two large cookie sheets. Flatten each ball slightly using the bottom of a glass.
-
Bake: Place the cookie sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 90 minutes. Remember to rotate the trays halfway through the baking time and switch their positions on alternate oven racks for even cooking.
-
Adjust Temperature: After 90 minutes, lower the oven temperature to 225°F (107°C) and continue baking for an additional 1 to 1 1/2 hours. This lower temperature helps to ensure that the biscuits dry out completely without browning too much.
-
Check for Doneness: Periodically check the biscuits for doneness. Remove one biscuit from the oven, allow it to cool, and then break it apart. The entire biscuit should be hard and crispy, similar to commercial milkbones.
-
Cool and Store: Once the biscuits are fully baked and crisp, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool completely. Store the biscuits in an airtight container to maintain their freshness.
These Very Cheddar Dog Biscuits are sure to become a favorite treat for your furry companions. With their savory cheese flavor and crunchy texture, they’re bound to have tails wagging with excitement! 🐕🦴
