Nice Spice Dog Biscuits



Ingredients & Directions


1 1/2 c Unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/2 c Whole-wheat flour
1/2 c Cornmeal
2 tb Nonfat dry milk powder
1 ts Ground cinnamon
1 ts Ground nutmeg
1 1/2 ts Ground allspice
1 Egg, slightly beaten
1 c Water (use 1 to 1-1/4 cups
-water)


Stir together flours, cornmeal, dry milk powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and
allspice in a large bowl. Add egg, then begin adding water gradually,
stirring with a wooden spoon. Add just enough water to produce a very stiff
dough. If you add too much water and dough is no longer stiff, add a little
more flour. Knead the dough with your hands to create a smooth texture.
Preheat oven to 350?F. Roll out dough 1/4 inch thick. (It helps if the top
and bottom of the dough are lightly floured.) Use a cookie cutter to cut
out biscuits. Place biscuits about 1/2 inch apart on lightly greased cookie
sheets. Bake for about 45 minutes to 1 hour. The biscuits should be lightly
browned and should not be moist inside. Turn off oven and leave biscuits
inside without opening oven door for 5 hours, or overnight, to let them
harden. Store in an airtight container. Yield: About 4 dozen (3-by-1-inch)
biscuits.

O yes, and are they good. Serve these hot with some apple butter, to die
for. They are great with fried chicken, corn, mashed spuds, pecan pie, and
iced safrass (sp.?) tea.


If you are ever near Nashville Ind. it is a great place to to get a meal.
My wife and I will drive an hour and a half a couple of times a year just
for these Biscuits.


Add yeast to warm water. add other ingredients & let dough rise. Work
into biscuits and drop into hot fat.


This recipe will make about seven doz biscuits. They can be frozen
individually and stored in plastic bags. When you work them up, don't let
the biscuits rise too high; the fat should be slightly hotter thatn 350
degrees F. If the fat should be too hot, the biscuits will be soggy in the
center.
