Nipper’s Bacon Barky Biscuits

(Makes approximately 2 ½ dozen depending on the size of your cookie cutters.)

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups Whole wheat flour
1/2 cup Powdered milk
1 tbsp. Wheat Germ
1 tsp. Garlic Powder
1 tsp. Beef Bouillon (Use granulated kind, not a cube.)
Four slices of bacon cooked extra crisp
1/3 cup Bacon Grease
1 beaten egg
1/2 cup ice water

Method

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

After frying bacon, drain slices on top of paper towels. Reserve 1/3 cup of bacon grease. After draining bacon slices, place in food processor and reduce it to fine crumbles.

Combine dry items (including bacon crumbles) in a large mixing bowl. Slowly add bacon grease and flour, powdered milk, garlic powder, wheat germ and beef bouillon granules.

Stir in the bacon grease, egg and bacon. When these ingredients are thoroughly mixed, drizzle in ice water a tiny bit at a time until mixture is firm in texture..

Now comes the fun part!

On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out with to 1/2 inch thickness and cut out biscuits with cookie cutters. (I use bone shaped cutters.) Place biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes.

Allow to cool before serving.

Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
