Sourdough Doggie Biscuits

Total Time: 1 hr 10 mins Preparation Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 40 mins

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup pumpkin
• 1 cup sourdough starter
• 1/4 cup peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons bacon drippings (or cooking oil)
• 1 cup oats (quick or old fashioned)
• 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

Recipe

• 1 combine the first 5 ingredients with an electric mixer.
• 2 add the oats and as much of the flour as you can until the dough is too hard to mix.
• 3 turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead in the remaining flour.
• 4 dough should be stiff, but not crumbly.
• 5 roll out dough about 1/2-inch thick and cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters, or for a quicker version just cut 1/2-inch wide strips with a pizza cutter or knife, and then cut strips to 2-inch lengths.
• 6 place on ungreased cookie sheets and bake at 325°f for 20 minutes.
• 7 turn biscuits over and bake another 20 minutes.
• 8 turn off oven and open door so it's ajar to let out excess heat for a few minutes and then close door and leave biscuits in oven until all the heat is gone.
• 9 if there is still moisture in the biscuits, let them air-dry until they are completely hard and crisp before storing.
