Huck's Dog Biscuit Recipe

Since I posted this project the other day I have recveived lots of emails asking for the recipe.  I think that I am not allowed to buy Huck biscuits from the Pet store anymore, good thing these are so easy!  Also, we passed them out to about 10 of Huck's furry friends for Christmas and everyone seemed to LOVE them :)  Go to this post for deets on the project, but for the dog treat recipe keep reading :)  I am NOT the original chef for this recipe, however I did alter it a bit to make it easier :)  The original recipe is from King Arthur Flour Co, called Best of Breed Dog Biscuits.  Here is my version:

• 2 cups Premium Whole Wheat Flour
• 1 cup rolled oats, regular or quick
• 1 tablespoon dried parsley or 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 1/2 cup nonfat dry milk
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup peanut butter, crunchy or plain
• 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon cold water, enough to make a cohesive dough

Directions

1) Preheat the oven to 300°F. Lightly grease a couple of baking sheets, or line them with parchment.

2) Throw all of the dry ingredients into my KitchenAide (mixer).  I use a dough hook.

3) Add the eggs and peanut butter, mixing to combine; the mixture will be crumbly.

4) Add enough water to bring the dough together; depending on the season, you may need to add a bit more (winter), or a bit less (summer).

5) To make biscuits using a dog-bone cutter, roll the dough about 1/4" thick, and cut with a 3 1/2" cutter (or the size of your choice). Gather and re-roll the scraps, and continue to cut biscuits until you've used all the dough.

6) To make dog "cookies," drop the dough in walnut-sized balls onto the prepared baking sheets. Flatten them to about 1/4".

7) Bake the biscuits for about 40 to 60 minutes, baking the smaller cookies for a shorter amount of time. When finished, the biscuits will be dark golden brown, and will be dry and crisp all the way through.

8) Remove the biscuits from the oven, and cool right on the pans.

Yield: about 42 larger (3 1/2" dog-bone) biscuits, 60 smaller (round) biscuits.

Thanks for popping in!  Hope you're having a wonderful week!
