Dog Biscuit Recipe:
Last minute Christmas presents for pets can be expensive but a few home made dog bones or biscuits are quick and easy and much appreciated. Okay, these aren't hugely healthy - well they are in comparison to some commercial dog food - but if you allow only three or four per pet - making sure, of course, that the dogs aren't gluten allergic and that the family has no children with nut allergies, these peanut butter treats go down well.
You'll need:
12oz Plain flour
20oz cheese
50ml milk
Three quarters Tbs baking powder
Three quarters Tbs peanut butter
Mix peanut butter and milk together first until fairly smooth
In another bowl, mix flour and baking powder
Mix everything together - help yourself to a Christmas sherry at this point:)
Knead the mixture and then - on a floured surface, roll out and cut into shapes or small squares.
Sprinkle grated chesse on top of biscuits
Bake for 15 - 20 mins
Cool and then wrap in spare wrapping paper and deliver to your clients.
I'm sure there are better recipes out there so do share please:)
Happy petsitting and Happy Christmas
