  • 1 1/2 c. Water
  • 1/2 c. Safflower oil -- No Substitutes!
  • 2 med Large eggs
  • 3 Tbsp. Peanut butter -- no sugar (Scudder Creamy)
  • 2 tsp Vanilla

Method

  • Alexander's favorite biscuits.
  • He opens the cupboard and cries for them!
  • This recipe as well as Alexander's Veggie Thins came into being out of desperation.
  • He would not eat any kind of purchased dog biscuit!
  • Mix water, oil, Large eggs, peanut butter, and vanilla with a wire whisk.
  • Add in flours, cornmeal, and oats.
  • Combine with a mixer.
  • Take one-third of the dough and place on a floured surface.
  • Flour top of dough.
  • Gently knead, adding more flour as necessary to create a pliable dough (This will require a substantial amount of flour).
  • Roll out to 1/2 - 3/4 inch thickness and cut shapes using cookie cutters.
  • I use a doughnut cutter so Alexander gets larger and smaller biscuits.
  • Repeat till all dough is used.
  • Place on an ungreased baking sheet.
  • Bake 400 F, 20-25 min, depending on thickness of biscuits .
  • Leave in oven 20 min after turning oven off to crisp.
  • Store airtight.
