I'd willingly give them a biscuit, I have a few peanut butter and apple ones left from my last batch of doggie baking!

(Oops, that soounds as though I baked the dog! - I didn't, honest!)

Peanut butter and apple sounds delicious! Are you sure they are just for dogs?????

I've just eaten my tea time digestive biscuit, so I'm afraid your trio will have to wait until tomorrow's tea time, Moli -sorry!

[Mags]

I hope you gave them all a biscuit after that pleading look, Moli! :lol:

Great pic!

[Leesy]

What a great pic Moli, they all look so sweet sat there with their big pleading eyes, why is it dogs and cats in fact all animals can give you that look that makes you feel guilty:roll: :roll:

It's a recipe from a book called "The Healthy Doggie Biscuit Book" by Jonna Anne.

Last Christmas my son popped it into my stocking as a bit of a joke, it came with 3 biscuit cutters (bone, kennel and fire hydrant) I think it's an American publication as there are ingredients in the book that I don't recognise and the fire hydrant is definitely American in style!
I''m working my way through the book with varying success. Here's the recipe for dog-owners among you. I store them in small quantities in the freezer as they don't keep long at room temp.

75g Rolled Oats
500g Wholewheat flour
130g Peanut Butter (I use "Whole Earth" from Holland & Barrett - no salt/sugar
350g Raw Apples (supposed to be minced but I grate mine)
225ml Water


1 Mix oats & flour in bowl
2 Add peanut butter & apples
3 Add water to bind for rolling
4 Roll to about 1cm thickness & cut out shapes
5 Bake at 190C/Gas5 for 20 mins or until crisp.

I've had to bake them for much longer as they stay quite moist, think I'll try a slightly higher temp next time.

Makes about 36.

ok.... i'll bite... ummmmm..... looking at that recipe.... there isn't anything in it that is "doggy only" ...
have you tasted them???? (ducking!!!)

[MrsH]

have you tasted them???? (ducking!!!)

Oh Yes, I have!! :-D

[angieh]

Oh Yes, I have!! :-D

......... and ......................... ?

[pookyandjo]

and?????
are they good?
did you think that they needed any changes made for human consumption?... i was thinking maybe some vanilla and a little grated orange rind...and maybe a tiny amount of sugar.... or did they have enough sweetness from that apple?
(cant believe that i am thinking of adapting a recipe for dog biscuits into human ones!)

[MrsH]

A bit bland!

[pookyandjo]

GMTA Angie...lol

[angieh]

What time is it where you are Jo???? Is it just you need to go to sleep? :lol: :lol: :lol:

The grated orange and sugar ought to cure that, or maybe some honey?

[pookyandjo]

nope... 2028 hrs...

[angieh]

about 9 hours ahead of us in UK then?

yeah honey or sugar would caramelize ever so slightly on the biscuit tray and give a nice cripsness.... the ingredients in the original form with the excption of the peanut butter aren't very different from the basic crumble topping for a fruit crumble...

yep...it was 10 hours but a couple of weeks ago we finished daylight saving... so we put out clocks back
