     1/4  cup           bacon grease or margarine
   1      teaspoon      salt
   2 1/2  cups          flour (white, oat, or rye)
   1      cup           cornmeal
   1      cup           wheat germ
   2      cups          cracked wheat
     3/4  cup           wheat bran
     3/4  cup           oatmeal
     3/4  cup           grated cheddar cheese
   3      cups          whole wheat flour -- (approximately)
                        Topping:
   1      cup           beef broth
     1/2  teaspoon      garlic powder
   3      tablespoons   oil


In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. In a large bowl, combine beef
broth, milk, honey, egg, bacon grease or margarine, and salt. Add yeast/water
mixture and mix well. Stir in flour, corn meal, wheat germ, cracked wheat,
wheat bran, oatmeal, and cheese. Add whole wheat flour, 1/2 cup at a time,
mixing well after each addition. Knead in the final amounts of flour by hand
to make a stiff dough. Continue to knead for 4 to 5 minutes. Pat or roll to
1/2 inch thickness. Cut into bone shapes and place on a greased baking sheet.
Cover lightly and let set (rise) for 30 minutes. Bake in a 350° oven for 45
minutes or until lightly browned on bottom. Prepare topping during last few
minutes. Turn off oven heat. Remove biscuits from oven. Immediately dip
biscuits in topping. Return them to oven and leave biscuits in oven for
several hours or overnight.
