It may not occur to you to use your microwave oven to make yummy treats for your canine friend, but give it a try. It's very easy to make dog treats in the microwave, and works especially well on a hot day when you want to keep the kitchen cool for you and your four-legged pal.
Instructions
1. Place 1 1/2 cups of whole wheat flour, 1/2 cup of all purpose white flour and 1 1/2 cups powdered milk in a large mixing bowl and stir to mix.
2. Add 3/4 cup of chicken or beef broth and 1 chopped garlic clove.
3. Break 1 large egg in a small bowl and beat it lightly with a fork. Add the beaten egg to the other ingredients and stir until it's completely blended. The dough should be thick enough to roll. If it's too thick to handle, add a bit of water or broth. If it's too thin, increase the whole wheat flour slightly.
4. Place the batter on a lightly floured surface and pat or roll it to a thickness of 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch. Make thinner biscuits for small dogs and larger biscuits for larger dogs.
5. Put the biscuits on a microwaveable plate, in a single layer, and cook them for three minutes. Check them, then cook them for one minute at a time until they're firm.
6. Remove the microwave dog biscuits from the microwave oven and allow them to harden as they cool.
