Doggie Treats

Well today I thought that I would treat my dog Herbie, I usually do make all his treats as he suffers from allergies, so today was treat making day.

Most people think he is a very pampered pooch,  they are probably right but hey why not give him a treat or two every now and then...

Below are a couple of recipes that are cheap and easy to make.

Dog Biscuits

6oz Wholemeal flour

1oz Margarine

quarter teaspoon yeast extract (Marmite) 

4 fluid oz of hot water

Parmesan  cheese

Rub fat into the flour.

Dissolve Marmite in  a little of the hot water

Mix into the flour to make a dough

Roll out to quarter of inch thick.  Cut into shapes and put on baking tray and bake in oven for 45 mins 

GM4 / 350 F/ 180 C

Honey Dog Biscuits

2 and half oz wholemeal flour

2 and half oz porridge oats

1 teaspoon baking powder

half oz of margarine

1 tablespoon honey

1 egg

little milk (if needed) for binding together

Mix the flour, oats and baking powder together.

Add the margarine in small flakes, honey, eggs and milk if needed

Knead together thoroughly.

Roll out on a floured board, cut into shapes 

Cook for 15- 20 mins.  Turn off oven and leave the biscuits in the oven and let them cool, they will harden when cold 

Preheat oven to GM5/  400F/ 200C

Beware they are so tasty your dog will demand homemade biscuits from now on!!!!
