LIVER CAKE

BAKE YOUR OWN CRUNCHY DOG BISCUITS

Those of you who show dogs may well have used Liver cake to bait your dogs in the ring but for those of you who may not have heard of it below we have printed the recipe for this cake as it seems to have the effect of holding your dogs attention whilst in the ring and has the added advantage of not making one's hands sticky.

8ozs Liver
4ozs S/R Flour
2 Eggs
2 Cloves Garlic/ or 2 tsps garlic puree.

Put all the ingredients into a blender until the mixture is smooth, pink and runny [not too rigid a requirement if you prefer to make it a bit chunky' Pour into greased swiss roll type baking tin and place in the oven [Gas Mark 4] for around 30-40 minutes.
Leave to cool and cut into bite size pieces.
It can be frozen into individual bags [enough for a show] and makes enough for 4/5 shows.

It is simple and easy to do and the dogs love the smell of them cooking especially with the added garlic in. It takes 5 minutes to mix and just under 40 minutes to bake.

8 ounces sausage-meat
8 oz .plain wholemeal flour
2-3 oz of stock or water
2 tsp garlic granules

Reheat oven to 180C/350f, mix the sausage-meat, flour and garlic granules thoroughly and bind with the stock or water to make a very stiff dough. Either roll out on a floured surface to ½ inch thickness and cut into bone shapes or any shape you want. A quicker way is just to roll into 1 ½ inch sausages and squeeze the end to make mini bones. Keep using all the trimmings until all the dough is used.

Put onto un-greased sheets and bake for 30-50 minutes (depending on size). Let them get good and hard but try not to burn them. Let them cool and serve them up as a treat. There is nothing in this recipe that makes it unfit for human consumption should any tricks be played!
