Nice spice dog biscuits

48 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1½ cup Unbleached all-purpose flour
1½ cup Whole-wheat flour
½ cup Cornmeal
2 tablespoons Nonfat dry milk powder
1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
1½ teaspoon Ground allspice
1 Egg, slightly beaten
1 cup Water (use 1 to 1-1/4 cups water)

Directions

Stir together flours, cornmeal, dry milk powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice in a large bowl. Add egg, then begin adding water gradually, stirring with a wooden spoon. Add just enough water to produce a very stiff dough. If you add too much water and dough is no longer stiff, add a little more flour. Knead the dough with your hands to create a smooth texture.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Roll out dough ¼ inch thick. (It helps if the top and bottom of the dough are lightly floured.) Use a cookie cutter to cut out biscuits. Place biscuits about ½ inch apart on lightly greased cookie sheets. Bake for about 45 minutes to 1 hour. The biscuits should be lightly browned and should not be moist inside. Turn off oven and leave biscuits inside without opening oven door for 5 hours, or overnight, to let them harden. Store in an airtight container. Yield: About 4 dozen (3-by-1-inch) biscuits.
