Wolf-Dog Biscuits

2 cups whole wheat flour
3/4 cup cornmeal
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups all-purpose flour
4 beef bouillon cubes
2 cups boiling water
10 tablespoons bacon bits -- optional garlic

Combine first 4 ingredients; mix well. Dissolve bouillon cubes in boiling water and add bouillon to flour mixture. Mix to make stiff dough. Roll onto a floured surface. Cut out shapes with cookie cutters (or a drinking glass turned upside down can be used). Bake in preheated 300 degree oven for 30 minutes. Let stand overnight to harden.

This is the basic recipe.

Variations: use clear gravies from turkey, roast beef, etc. In place of bouillon cubes or clear soups. Crisp sausage bits could be used in place of bacon. Different spices could also be used (Italian, parsley, thyme, etc.).
