Indi's Milk Bone Bites

Ingredients

 3/4 cup of boiling water
1/3 cup of marg
1/2 cup powdered milk
1tsp salt
1 egg beaten
3 cups plain/wholemeal flour


Put the marg in a large bowl and pour the boiling water over the top of it, add in the powdered milk and whisk together.  Add in the salt and beaten egg and then whisk in the flour - you will need to swap to hand after about 2 of the cups as it starts to come together as a soft dough. Once you have mixed in all the flour in tip the dough out onto a floured board and knead for a couple of minutes.

Roll out the dough to about half a cm thick and then cut into shapes - if you can't find bone shaped cutters then you can use an alternative shape or simply cut them into bars.

Place on a baking sheet and cook at 150C for 50 minutes until light brown and hard.

Allow to cool on a wire rack before providing a sample to your waiting furry friend

Indi is very keen on these bone shaped biscuits and likes to have one on his way up to bed at night! The mix will make around 25 medium bones which keep well for a couple of weeks in an airtight tin or they freeze brilliantly - Indi gives them a big waggy tail scoring - infact he hoovers up the crumbs for them which he never does with commercial ones.
