A Different Sort of Treat

While doing a little blog-hopping today, I came across a terrific blog (WhiteonRiceCouple.com) and some fabulous recipes.  This particular one I thought sounded terrific for those 'other' members of our family, our canines.  And of course mine in particular love their treats.

You will definitely want to give this recipe a try.  It is kitchen-tested, dog approved and you too may have to start spelling T-R-E-A-T or "incentive" as the recipe author has had to do.

Turmeric and Flax Dog Biscuits - The Best Dog Biscuit EVER*!

YIELD: A COUPLE WEEKS WORTH OF GOOD DOG TREATS

TOTAL TIME: 1 HOUR

ingredients:

• 3/4 cup (180ml) hot Water
• 1 teaspoon Beef or Chicken Bouillon Powder
• 1 1/3 cup (175g) all-purpose Flour
• 1 1/3 cup (175g) Whole Wheat Flour
• 2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
• 1/2 cup (55g) ground Flax Seed
• 1 Tablespoon Turmeric
• 1/2 cup (130g) Peanut Butter
• 1 Egg

directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
2. Dissolve the bouillon in the hot water. Set aside.
3. Combine the flours, brown sugar, ground flax, and turmeric in a mixer bowl. Using a dough hook, mix in hot water mixture, peanut butter and egg. Continue mixing until the dough ball is smooth, occasionally scraping down the sides of the bowl to help everything mix together.
4. Roll out the dough to 1/2" thick. Cut into desired dog biscuit shapes (we use hearts for "good dogs" and small circles for training incentives). Place the cut out dog biscuits on the prepared sheet pans.
5. Bake for about 35 minutes or until the biscuits feel dried and fairly hard (they will harden a bit more after cooling).
