无麸质健康南瓜狗饼 Healthy Pumpkin Dog Treats

I love my furkids very much and treat them like my own offsprings. They are like children who are forever in childlike state, constantly looking up to us for attention and emotional support.

我非常爱护家里的三只爱犬，对待它们有如自己亲生骨肉一般的爱着。在我的眼里它们就像永远长不大的小孩，时时刻刻都在依赖着我们，需要我们不停给予照顾及精神上的安慰。

Among my 3 lovely fur babies, the eldest one is born with severe chronic allergies to most food and preparing custom home cooked food for her is a daily routine. We tried out best to keep them in good shape by giving food which corresponds to their health and growth stage.

在这三只宝贝爱犬当中，老大自小就患上先天性的食物和环境过敏症一旦接触到不适的食品就会癫痫发作，受尽了多年的痛楚。因此这些年来对于它们的生活饮食我都是依各自的身体健康需求而亲自下厨为它准备一切的饮食，希望能帮助它们的健康成长。

Despite the endless bouts of health issues and challenges all these years, my eldest baby Coco who has gone deaf and blind, managed to sustain till a ripe 15 years of age and still counting. Recently, a mass bout of malignant tumor started to invade her pelvis area and within a short period of 3 months the tumor has grown into 6 times the original size. Given her advanced age, the vet discouraged performing surgery to remove the lump citing that the removal would put our baby into more risk than good.

仅可老大忍受了多年的病痛而后来恶化至双眼变盲，耳朵也完全聋去，它还是努力的活着一直撑到15年。很不幸的，它的身上最近长出一块恶性肿瘤而在短短的三个月内扩大六倍极之可怜。由于它年寿太高，兽医不鼓励动手术来切除肿瘤怕爱犬承受不起麻醉药而死去。

We are saddened to learn that her days are numbered and soon she will have to leave us. Hence I set out to make her a batch of home made treats and indulge her when she is still able to enjoy her food.

如今获知它不久后将要离开，我便做了这批南瓜饼给它还能吃的情况下品尝。

Here is a simple yet healthy doggie treat for you love pooch.

这道健康狗饼您也可以尝试试做来给您的爱犬品尝。

Healthy Pumpkin Dog Treats


Ingredients 材料

400g Pumpkin 南瓜 (steamed & mashed 蒸熟搅成泥)
3 Tbsp Organic Flaxseeds 有机亚麻籽
500g Tapioca Flour 木薯粉
250g Potato Flour 马铃薯粉
1 Tsp Baking Soda 小苏打粉
3 Eggs 鸡蛋
150ml Cold Water 冷水


Directions 做法

Preheat oven to 175C degrees.

烤箱预热至175C度。

Combine sifted tapioca flour, potato flour, baking soda and flaxseeds into a mixing bowl. Set aside.

先把过沥好的木薯粉，马铃薯粉，苏打粉和亚麻籽混入，混匀搁置。

In another bowl, combine eggs and pumpkin puree together until incorporated. Then transfer into the flour mixture and stir to combine. Gradually add water (as needed) and use hands to knead the dough together.

将鸡蛋，南瓜泥一起混入另一个小碗，混匀后转入粉料里搅匀。接着倒入适量的冷水，用手搓揉将面糊混合成团。

Place dough between 2 plastic sheets and roll into 3-4mm thick sheet. Remove the top layer of the plastic sheet and flip dough onto the tabletop sprinkled with potato flour then remove the plastic sheet.

再把面团置入两片塑料纸之中，用杆面棒杆成3-4mm厚度即可取出上层塑料纸，然后把面团倒入已撒上少许马铃薯粉的桌面上，再取掉第二片塑料纸。

Use cookie cutter to cut dough to desired shapes. Place cookies on baking pan lined with slightly greased parchment paper. 

使用饼干切割模把面团切成喜欢的形状，排在已涂上少许食油烘焙纸上置入烤盘。

Bake for 22-25 mins until the top has browned and dried out completely. Allow cookies to cool on wire rack completely before storing in air tight container.

把面团烘烤22-25分钟直到表面上色及完全干透即可。将烤熟的饼干摆在凉架待凉后才置入密封的罐子收藏。
