Ingredients
- 14.75 oz canned salmon
- 1 medium egg
- 2 cups rice flour
Steps
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F degrees.
- Line a baking tin with parchment paper.
- Place the canned salmon with the tinned liquid into a food processor. Pulse until smooth.
- Add the egg and flour and process until you have a dough.
- Remove the dough and roll out in between two layers of parchment paper. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle rice flour over the parchment paper and rolling pin.
- Roll out to about 1/4 inch thick and cut shapes with your cookie cutter or manually cut small squares out.
- Place the cut treats onto the baking tin and bake for 20 minutes, turning over half way through for even cooking.
- Remove and cool.
- Store in a sealed container in the fridge.
Substitutions
- Use canned tuna or mackerel in water instead of salmon.
- Substitute rice flour with oat flour.
- Add a teaspoon of dried catnip to the dough.
