Makes about 12-18 3 inch biscuits

Ingredients

2 cups whole wheat flour
¼ cup buckwheat flour
1 tablespoon powdered milk
2 tablespoons flax seeds
¼ cup wheat bran
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup peanut butter (heated up to soften)
¼ cup bacon, crumbled
2 tablespoons bacon grease
1 egg, beaten
¾ cup water
8 ounces carob

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl sift together the dry ingredients, flours, flax, wheat bran, baking powder and salt. In another mixing bowl whisk together the wet ingredients; peanut butter, bacon, egg, and water. Slowly incorporate the dry goods into the wet a little at a time, stirring as you go. Form the dough into a ball and knead lightly. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface and cut with a dog biscuit cookie cutter. Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lines with parchment paper and bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool and let stand to harden overnight. Dip the cooking in melted carob on one side of the biscuit and let the carob harden. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three weeks.
