Finicky Feef is what Mom calls me. Her search to find palatable Fifi treats is endless. For Christmas, my groomer, Kelly, was so sweet and made little tins of cookies and biscotti's for her vict...er... clients, myself included. Wow! I liked them! Mom was so impressed she decided to try her hand at baking for me. Her first attempt was barely edible, I was a skeptic at first, but honestly, they weren't too bad. I thought she was nuts when I saw her cutting up that pumpkin and whizzing it in the food processor, but now it makes sense! Those cookies are TASTY! My favorite so far is the Bacon Biscotti. Give it a try - experiment with other ingredients and see how YOUR finicky Fido likes them!
Feef's Bacon & Peanut Butter Biscotti
2 1/2 cups flour (your choice) Mom uses whole wheat since none of us have allergies.
1/4 cup flax
1/4 cup wheat germ
1 tablespoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon ginger
blend all dry ingredients then add:
1/2 cup pureed pumpkin
1/4 cup bacon grease
1/2 cup bacon crumbles
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 egg
3/4 cup water (or broth)
mix it all up til it's a huge sticky ball and line a pizza pan with parchment or oiled foil. Spread your giant gooball around - it should be about an inch thick. Bake at 325 for 1 hr. Cut into 1" squares and bake on low until your biscotti is nice and dry. Cool, and store in a parchment lined tin.
We would never let this stuff sit around long enough to go bad (Duke and Turbo are such PIGS) but use common sense - if you're not going to use it up in a timely manner consider freezing some for later.
