What each ingredient does
- Dry dog biscuits
- Provides the bulk and solid particles that give the mixture its body.
- Lard
- Adds fat that coats the powder and firms into a binding paste as it cools.
The step that matters
Cool the mixture until it thickens. Lard is liquid when melted and solidifies as it cools. Working the mixture before it has thickened leaves it runny, so it will not hold together as a paste.
