Ingredients
Powdered Milk
1 cup (skimm milk powdered)
Yellow Cornmeal
1 cup (fine ground)
Meat Baby Food
2 (6-ounce) jars (any flavor your dog enjoys)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the powdered milk and yellow cornmeal. Stir until evenly mixed.
3
Gradually add the meat baby food to the dry ingredients, mixing until you form a cohesive dough. If the dough is too crumbly, you can add a small amount of warm water until it reaches the desired consistency.
4
Dust your work surface with flour to prevent sticking, then knead the dough for a few minutes until it's smooth.
5
Roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness and use cookie cutters to cut out fun shapes.
6
Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about an inch apart.
7
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown. Keep a close eye, as these biscuits can burn quickly.
8
Once baked, remove the treats from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack.
9
Store the cooled biscuits in an airtight container to maintain their freshness.
