You'll Need:
Instructions
-
Rinse Liver
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Rinse the liver and be sure it is clean of all debris and clotted blood.
-
Slice Liver
Slice the liver into 1-inch-wide strips.
-
Blend
Toss the liver into the blender or food processor. Blend until the consistency of a thick milkshake.
-
Mix
In a large bowl, mix the liver puree with the flour and add the egg. If the resulting batter is too watery, add a little more flour.
-
Prepare to Bake
Spread the batter into a well-greased cookie sheet, or sheet lined with parchment paper. Batter should be 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch deep.
-
Bake
Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes.
-
Cut
Using a knife or pizza cutter, score the treats into 1/2 inch squares.
-
Dry
Drying is a crucial part of success for these treats. Turn off the oven, and return the scored treats to the oven for about 10 minutes.
-
Dry Again
These can be eaten immediately, but in order for them to store well, we need to dry them completely. Remove the treats, and break them up with a spatula. Toss them so more sides are exposed, and return them to the oven. Allow them to dry, with the door open, for another 1-3 hours.
-
Enjoy!
These treats can live in the refrigerator for well beyond a week. If they are completely dried, they can also be stored at room temp for a week.
