Ingredients are 16oz (450g) whole wheat flour, 6oz (170g) porridge oats, 1oz (30g) shortening (pork lard), 1 tablespoon sunflower oil, 1½oz (40g) grated parmesan cheese, and 14 fl oz (400ml) unsalted chicken stock. What you need do first is preheat the oven to 320°F (160°). Mix together the flour, oats, shortening, oil and parmesan cheese. Finely grate the carrots and add with chicken stock to the flour mix. Form dough. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to ¼ inch (5mm) thickness. Cut into diamonds, triangles or squares. Put the dough shapes on a parchment covered baking sheet and bake in oven for 40-50 minutes. Turn the heat off and allow the biscuits to dry out in the oven.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°). Combine thoroughly the flour, oats and baking powder. Cut the butter into small flakes and add to the flour mix with the honey, eggs and milk. Knead to form a dough. Roll the dough out to a thickness of ½ inch (1cm) on a floured board. Cut out round biscuit shapes and place onto a parchment covered baking tray allowing space for the mixture to spread.

Put into a cold oven and bring the heat to 300°F (150C°) and leave to cook for 1 hour. Reduce the oven temperature 210°F (100C°) and prop the oven door open to let moisture escape. Leave the meat in the oven for a further 2 hours. Allow the meat cubes to dry out overnight at room temperature. These bites will keep for up to a year in an airtight container.
