Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup uncooked (quick) oatmeal
1/4 cup margarine
1 1/2 cups hot water
1/2 cup powdered milk
1 cup grated cheddar cheese (any hard -- Swiss, colby)**
cheese-jack
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 egg beaten
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup wheatgerm
3 cups whole wheat flour 1 tablespoon chicken or
beef bouillon

1. Preheat oven to 300°.
2. In large bowl pour hot water over oatmeal and margarine (cut-up melts faster); let stand 5
minutes. Stir in powdered milk, grated cheese, garlic powder, bouillon and egg. Add cornmeal and wheat germ. Mix well. Add flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Knead 3-4 minutes, adding more flour if necessary to make very stiff dough. Pat or roll dough to 1/2 inch thickness.
3. Cut into bone shaped biscuits and place on a greased baking sheet. Bake for 1 hour. Turn off heat and leave in oven an additional 1 1/2 hours or longer (I usually go to bed).
