Pet Biscuits   ~ Pet Biscuits ~ These are not for people ~ Treat your cat or dog to
some pet biscuits for the holidays.  First make sure your pet isn't  allergic to the
ingredients.  ~ National Geographic World , December 1998  (a kids magazine)

1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup white flour
1/4 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup quick cooking oatmeal
1/2 cup dry, nonfat milk
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---
1/2 cup vegetable shortening - not oil
1/2 cup meat flavored baby food, warmed in the microwave
1 egg

1.  In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients.

2.  Add the shortening and mix well with a fork.

3.  Mix in the warm baby food and raw egg.

4.  Knead the dough with your hands for a few minutes, then use a rolling pin to
roll out on a wax paper-covered surface.  If necessary to prevent sticking, sprinkle
white flour on hands, rolling pin, and wax paper.

5.  Using cookie cutters, cut dough into different holiday shapes and put the
pieces on a microwave safe plate.

6.  Microwave on low power for two minutes, rotate the plate, and continue to
microwave for another minute or two.  Check often.

7.  Let the biscuits cool.  Give your pet one or two a day as a treat.  Dogs eat them
whole, but break treats into smaller pieces for cats.
