I made yesterday some homemade dog treats. I discovered the recipe on a German dog page. It is really simple and Maxwell loves them.
You need
-500gr VERY lean ground beef (organic meat is great but regular grocery meat is fine too)
-2 organic eggs
-750 ml organic whole wheat flour
-250 ml organic oats ( I used oatmeal)
-250 ml water
- Mix the beef and the eggs until everything is smooth. If you have an blender it will go allot faster
-In another bowl mix the flour and the oats
-Then blend the dry and the meat mix all together and add the water.
-sprinkle some flour on a very clean working place and role the dough out. Make sure that the dough doesn't get to flat. ( I made a few cookies to flat and they burned a little) maybe 6-12 mm
-you can use cookie cutter but if you don't have so much time then just use a pizza cutter and cut little/medium squares.
-I used a pizza cutter and it worked well.
-put the cookies on a very lightly greased baking sheet ( i used a tiny bit of olive oil on the cookie sheets)
- oven temperature is 180C which is around 350 Fahrenheit.
-bake 45 to 1 hour. (the recipe said 1 hour but it depends how thin or thick your cookies are.
-let them cool completely and serve.
- Make sure you check for to dark/burned ones. They will taste very bitter and I would throw these away.
-DONT FORGET DO WASH YOUR HANDS GOOD BECAUSE YOU HANDLED RAW MEAT AND CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT CAME IN CONTACT WITH THE RAW MEAT VERY GOOD
