1 c. uncooked oatmeal
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 c. margarine
1 egg, beaten
1-1/2 c. hot water or meat juices
1 c. cornmeal
1/2 c. powdered milk
1 c. wheat germ
4 oz. (1 c.) grated cheese
3 c. whole wheat flour

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 3-4 minutes, adding more flour if necessary to make a very stiff dough. Pat or roll dough to 1/2" thickness. Cut into bone shaped biscuits and place on a greased baking sheet. Bake for 1 hour at 300F. Turn off heat and leave in oven for 1-1/2 hours or longer. Makes approximately 2-1/4 lbs.
