Preparation

Step 1

Combine white flour, wheat flour, powdered milk, wheat germ and salt in a large bowl.

Cut in shortening until mixture resembles corn meal.

Beat the sugar with the egg, stir into flour mixture. Add the mashed vegetables gradually to make a stiff dough.

Knead on a flour surface until dough is smooth and pliable. Roll into 1/4” thickness and cut with cutters. Bake at 325 degrees until lightly browned, about 30 minutes.
