First, gather the ingredients for Fido’s Footballs.
- 2 cups of boiling water
- 2 cubes of beef bouillon
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 5 cups of regular flour
- 1 cup of cooked brown rice
Basic white rice may be substituted for the brown rice, if the water is reduced from two cups to 1 3/4 cups.
Follow these easy instructions to make Fido’s Footballs.
Preheat the oven to 350 (F) degrees.
Heat the water to boiling. Pour two cups of boiling water over the two beef bouillon cubes, Stir gently until the bouillon is completely melted.
Add the egg and vegetable oil, and stir well with a sturdy wooden spoon.
Mix the flour and rice in, and combine all ingredients thoroughly. Begin shaping the mixture into a big ball.
Transfer the ball of dough onto a well-floured counter top. Use bare hands to roll the dough into small football-shaped portions. Flatten the football treats a bit, and place these onto ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake Fido’s Footballs for one hour.
Remove cookie sheets, and leave treats on them to cool.
Use a metal spatula to slip Fido’s Footballs off carefully and place them in a zippered plastic bag.
