If you want to make your dog very happy, bake up a batch of these "puppy treats". They are super easy to make and bake up hard and crunchy. They will "keep" forever, much like a commercial milk bone, but tastier.
2½ cups whole wheat flour (white flour will work too)
1/3 cup bacon grease (see note below)
1 egg
½ to ¾ cup milk
1 teaspoon garlic powder (not salt)
1 teaspoon onion powder (not salt)
3 heaping teaspoons beef bullion granules
Mix everything ( using the ½ cup of milk) into a STIFF dough (stand mixer works best). Beat until it comes together in a smooth ball. Everyones flour is different, so if the dough seems dry and won‘t hold together in a smooth ball, just start adding the other ¼ cup of milk (one tablespoon at a time) until it holds together in a nice moist (but not sticky) ball (the dough texture should feel like freshly kneaded Play Doh).
Roll the dough into ropes about ½” in diameter. Cut the ropes into small pieces and put on an UNgreased cookie sheet (try to spread the pieces out; it's ok if they get sort of close to each other, but just make sure they are in a single layer. Cut small pieces for little dogs and bigger pieces for bigger dogs.
Chloe patiently being a "good girl" so I will throw a treat.
NOTE: This recipe calls for 1/3 cup of bacon fat, sounds like a lot, but the recipe makes a LOT of treats. If you don't have bacon fat, peanut butter works well too.
NOTE: We keep Chloe's treats in a large peanut butter jar. We often find her staring at the jar, lol!!
