By michelew7

Ingredients

• 1 cup uncooked oatmeal
• 1 1/2 cups hot water or meat drippings
• 4 ounces grated cheese
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 cup wheat germ
• 1/4 cup margarine
• 1/2 cup powdered milk
• 1/4 tablespoons salt
• 1 cup cornmeal
• 3 cup whole wheat flour

Preparation

Step 1

In large bowl pour hot water over oatmeal and margarine: let stand for 5 minutes. Stir in powdered milk, grated cheese, salt and egg. Add cornmeal and wheat germ. Mix well. Add flour, 1/3 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Knead 3 or 4 minutes, adding more flour if necessary to make a very stiff dough. Pat or roll dough to ½ inch thickness. Cut into bone-shaped biscuits and place on a greased baking sheet.

Bake for 1 hour at 300 degrees. Turn off heat and leave in oven for 1 1/2 hours or longer. Makes approximately 2 1/4 pounds.
