We humans like to make our dogs feel included when we're enjoying a special treat or occasion, like a cookout. With this simple recipe you can make barbeque-flavored biscuits sure to assuage your hungry pup when the burgers and hot dogs hit the grill!
Making the Barbeque Sauce
Step 1
Heat a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the tomato paste, beef stock, applesauce, cloves and cinnamon to the saucepan. Stir to combine.
Step 2
When the sauce begins to bubble, reduce the heat to low. Simmer the barbeque sauce over low heat, stirring occasionally, for at least 30 minutes.
Step 3
Allow sauce to cool completely.
Making the Barbeque Treats
Step 1
Combine the flour, oats and cornmeal in a mixing bowl.
Step 2
Add 1 cup of the barbeque sauce, butter and one egg to the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.
Step 3
Roll out the biscuit dough on a floured work surface. Roll to about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 4
Use a cookie cutter to cut shapes from the dough, then transfer the biscuits to a lightly greased cookie sheet.
Step 5
Whisk 1 cup of the remaining barbeque sauce with one egg. Brush the biscuits with the barbeque sauce glaze.
Step 6
Bake the biscuits for 30 minutes, or until edges are golden brown. Transfer biscuits to a cooling rack and allow them to cool completely. Recipe yield will vary depending on cookie cutter size.
