Directions

Combine yeast and warm water; let stand 5 minutes. Stir in broth and molasses. Stir in 1 cup all pourpose flour and next 6 ingredients. Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Knead in enough remaining flour to make a very stiff dough (5 minutes). Divide dough in half. Cover and let rest 10 minutes.

Roll each portion to ¼-inch thickness (small dogs) or ⅜-inch thickness (large dogs). Cut with a 2- or 4-inch bone-shaped cutter, and place on ungreased baking sheets.

Combine egg and milk, stirring well; brush over biscuits. Bake at 300 degrees for 35 minutes (smaller biscuits) or 45 minutes for the thicker biscuits. Turn off oven, and let biscuits cool in oven overnight. Yield: 20 to 25 biscuits.

CAT BISCUITS: Add ⅓ cup fish food flakes, and substitute chicken broth for beef broth. Roll to ¼-inch thickness and cut with 1-inch fish-shaped cutter. Bake at 300 degrees for 20 minutes. Remove from oven; cool.
