1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup yellow cornmeal
1 tsp sugar
1/3 cup bacon fat, animal fat, or shortening
1 Tbsp instant chicken or beef boullion granules
3/4 cup non-fat dry milk powder
1/2 cup quick-cooking rolled oats
1 egg slightly beaten
1/2 cup hot water
Combine dry ingredients except for boullion granules. Cut in fat or shortening like for human biscuits. Stir in egg.
Mix the boullion granules with the hot water and mix until dissolved. Slowly pour into the flour mixture, stirring with a fork to moisten.
Form dough into a ball and knead on a floured board 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Divide dough in half and roll out each part 1/2 inch thick.
Make cut-outs with cookie cutter or make nuggets by rolling dough into 1-inch diameter logs and cutting off 1/2 inch pieces.
Bake at 250-275 degrees for approximately 20 minutes (just make sure they are dry). The shapes should be firm and dry to the touch, but not necessarily brown. You can also microwave these at 50% for 5-10 minutes or until firm and dry to touch. Rotate plate every 2 minutes and turn shapes over after half the time. Cool on wire rack.
Shapes will crisp as they cool. Makes 1-1/2 dozen cutouts or 5-1/2 dozen nuggets.
