Raccoon and Lobster

Baked another giant batch of sourdough hippo biscuit surprise. Half of this batch is going off to a friend for his dog to evaluate. Local pups have seemed quite enamored with my biscuits so far. To stack the decks in my favor, I used double the amount of sardines as in the original recipe.

I also made a batch last week using sourdough starter discard and leftover bacon grease which also got rave reviews. Nancy Silverton lists these in her book as dual purpose dog biscuits or baby teething biscuits, using chopped mint instead of sardines. For fresh breath mint may be ideal, but as a training treat, I’ve had much better success with cheese, liver, bacon grease, or sardines as the “surprise” ingredient.
