Homemade Biscuits

Your dog has no need to be jealous of these tasty biscuits, because they’re pooch-friendly!

To make them you will need:

  • 256g of flour
  • 125g of peanut butter (make sure it’s Xylitol-free!)
  • 2 eggs
  • 60ml water

First combine the flour, eggs and peanut butter. Then add the water and mix together until the mixture has turned to dough.

Next roll the dough out on a bed of flour and knead until it no longer sticks. You can then proceed to start cutting shapes of your choice with a cookie cutter or a knife.

Once you’ve cut out all your shapes, placing the cuttings in the oven for 20 minutes at 175℃.  

Bake until they are browned and leave the biscuits to cool until they’re dry, crisp and ready to eat!
