Method

Place all ingredients in a bowl of a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment.

Mix until the dough comes together into a good molding consistency.

If the dough is too dry due to a dry pumpkin, add enough water to just bring the dough together.

This dough should be stiff but "rollable."

Divide dough into 2 equal portions.

Using brown rice flour or semolina as bench flour, roll each portion into a 25 inch length rope.

Slice rope into 1/3 inch portions on a diagonal left and right creating triangles.

Score with a fork in the center to facilitate breaking in half if desired.

Place on rye screens.

Bake in 300 degree F oven for 30 minutes.

If biscuits start to brown, lower oven temperature to 250 degrees F.

Turn off oven, push pans to the back of oven, and let the oven come to room temperature with door open, before removing dog nibs.

Package when nibs come to room temperature and are totally dry inside.
