Recently at one of my favorite local treasure shops, as I checked out I was asked if I had a dog. I smiled and said yes. The woman working there encouraged me to please bring the dog next time and she handed me two small plastic bags with small treats she called "Charlie Biscuits." They appeared to be handmade and were very simple in appearance.
I promptly took these items home and shared them with Marcel and found that he was very responsive. I had my fantastic finds for the day and he had discovered a new treat. It was this moment that encouraged me to try and make dog treats at home.
I used:
*two over-ripe bananas
*2 cups whole wheat flour
*1tsp of salt
*water to bind (wheat flour will usually require about a 25% more than white flour)
I mixed the items together in a bowl and then prepped my work surface with flour. Buddha oversaw the whole process and reminded me to be patient and prepare these items with love. The dough was rolled out and I used a round cookie cutter to press out my shapes. I also used my tea infuser as a smaller circle cutter. These biscuits were laid out on a baking sheet and cooked for about 20 minutes at 350 degrees.
They came out well and we have one pretty satisfied dog!
Marcel says "Bon Appetit!" The next time around, I will use carrots, a fave. I have been keeping this batch in the fridge since they don't have preservatives and the bananas could cause some molding. Good luck with your Charlie Biscuits.
