Vegitarian Biscuits

Greetings all...

Although I have been reading GPIGS digest, I haven't yet written. I did notice, however, the interest in Vegitarian Dog Biscuits for Cavy treats...although I have never seen such a commerical product...it is quite easy to bake a homemade version. I developed this version by merging scone and carrot cake recipes.

• 2 cups whole wheat flower
• 1 cup shredded carrot
• 1/4 cup shredded apple
• 1 cup warm water
• 2T. honey

Mix into a fairly stiff dough...if the mixture is not firm like a bread dough..add some more whole wheat flower. Roll to 1/4 inch thickness on a lightly floured surface and then, using a cookie cutter or a small paring knife...cut into shapes. I use a carrot shape. Bake in a 350 degree oven (farenheit) for 9-12 minutes..until edges are crispy. Let them cool and store in an ait-tight container. These cokies will last about 2 weeks. You can also freeze them for longer storage. It simply depends on the size of your herd.

I really can't speak for other cavies...but the Good Captain Nemo adores them ;>
