546. DOG BACON DROPS

4 cups of all-purpose flour
6 teaspoons of baking powder
½ cup of dry nonfat milk
½ cup of vegetable shortening
16 slices of crisp cooked bacon strips, crumbled
2 cups of chicken broth, or as much as needed

Place the oven rack in the center of the oven and pre heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place 2 lightly greased baking pans on the side.

Use a large bowl and a wire whisk to mix the all purpose flour, baking powder and dry milk together. Use a pastry blender to cut in the shortening until the mixture acquires a fine meal consistency. Then form a hole in the middle of the dry mixture and add in the chicken broth and work it until it turns into a soft dough and pulls away from the bowl it is in.

Drop 1 teaspoon full of dough onto the previously prepared baking pans. Allow them to bake for around 10 to 12 minutes or until the top of the cookies acquire a light brown color.

Once done, take them out of the oven and place them over a wire rack allowing them to cool. Refrigerate them when they are done.
