1/3 cup Margarine/Butter
1 package Brown Gravy mix (powdered/dry)*
1 1/2 cups hot water

______________________________________________________
In large bowl pour hot water over oatmeal, margarine and gravy mix. Stir well and let stand 5 minutes. Stir in powdered milk, cornmeal and egg. Add flour 1/2 cup at a time mixing well after each addition. Knead 3-4 minutes adding more flour if needed to make a very stiff dough. Pat or roll dough to 1/2" thickness. Cut with bone shaped cookie cutter or cut into strips/cubes with knife. Place on greased baking sheet. Bake in 325' oven for 35-50 minutes (start checking after ~30 mins: cooking time determined by size of treats). Allow to cool and dry out until hard.
