Preheat oven to 350 deg

This treat has a strong odor while mixing and cooking because of the mackerel. Your kitties will be hanging around closely, waiting for them to come out of the oven - perhaps, trying to snatch bits from your mixer bowl! Watch those little paws! We do not want them to get caught in the beaters!

One of our patients, who loved these treats!

  1. 1 can of canned mackerel*
  2. 2 cups of crushed corn flakes or cracker crumbs*
  3. 2 Tlb vegetable or olive oil
  4. 4 eggs
  5. 1 tsp Brewer's yeast*
  6. 1/2 cup soy flour
  7. cornmeal to roll it out on
  8. A floured dishtowel or other clean, white cloth - about 30" X 30" - to roll the dough on*
  9. A heavy-duty mixer

*a---Any brand. I just dump the can into the mixer bowl and let the beaters break it up.
*b---I put them into a gallon sized plastic bag and use my rolling pin to crush them.
*c---I have used regular yeast when I was out of Brewer's yeast.
*d---You can also use waxed paper. One sheet on the bottom and one sheet on top.

Use the mixer to mix the ingredients together pretty much in the order shown. I always start with the wet ingredients and add the dry a little at a time to keep the mixer from throwing everything all over the counter.

You can drop tiny bits of the mixture onto a greased corn-floured baking sheet if you want to do it that way, or you can roll it out on the floured towed to about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. The thinner, the better. You may find it easier to separate it into sections before rolling. Remember that kitties like tiny bites.

I usually use a pizza cutter and cut it into 1/2" strips. Then when I take it out of the oven, I either cut or break it into bite-sized pieces. Bake on an cookie sheet for 10 to 12 minutes. You want them to be slightly brown and crisp. They puff up when cooking (remember the yeast?). I usually spread a clean cloth on the counter to cool them on, because my oven's too full.

After the snacks are cool, you should store these, (in a sealed container),Your kitties will love these treats! in the refrigerator. I store anything I put eggs, fish, or meat in in the refrigerator. They can also be frozen til you want them.
