Foxy's Biscotti

Foxy, the standard poodle, is a picky eater, but she loves her new treats. When she hears her biscotti canister being rattled, she runs to me and does all her tricks without being prompted. She has started shaking hands to earn these.

Ingredients
3 cups chopped fresh collards
1 cup nonfat dry milk 1 can (14.75 ounces) salmon including liquid1 teaspoon baking soda
1 block fish bouillon in 1 cup water
2 eggs
2 tablespoons bacon grease1 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups cornmeal mix 1 cup oatmeal
1 teaspoon baking soda2 teaspoons. salt
Non-stick cooking spray

Preparation
·Mix the first 7 ingredients in the blender.
·Mix the next 5 ingredients in a mixing bowl.
·Combine all the ingredients except the spray.
·Drop by tablespoonfuls in sprayed muffin tins. Bake 45 minutes at 300º.
·Remove from the muffin tins and place them on a rack.
·Cut each biscotti in half.
·Place them on a cookie sheet and cook them at 200º until they are dry and hard.

Equipment/Utensils
• Blender • Mixing bowl • Muffin tins with small cups • Cooling rack
Notes
·Regarding Foxy’s special treats, Carolyn, a cyber friend, wrote, “Won't your pup have ‘involuntary’ biological imperatives?” So far, Foxy has not had a problem.
·I recommend that you store the biscotti sealed because of the strong odor (delicious to dogs).
