Oh boy! I know five horses who are gonna LOVE me!! Thanks, Paula!!  |
| I make a variation on this for Bob and his friends at Christmas. Depending on the weather, you might need to adjust the amount of flour. If it's humid, add more. I bake mine in mini-muffin tins. The recipe I got is called "Itty Bitty Party Muffins." I refer to them as "itty bitties." Horses loff them! |
| I have another good one - LeAnne and I made them for our boys Pete and Sonny.
Horse Cake 6 cups sweet feed 4 cups bran 1 cup molasses 2 cups chopped carrots or apples 1 1/4 cups water - you may need to add to the amount of water or molasses to make the batter clump. Mix together all ingredients. It says to make them in a cake pan, but we made cupcakes. Bake at 350F for 25-30 min. They also freeze very well. Todd came home and loved the smell. He thought we had made a yummy new dessert. We had to tell him it was just treats for the horses.  |
| My friend gave me a book of horse treat recipes a few years back and the easiest and cheapest to make are called "horse croutons." I make these quite often for Bob.
6 pieces of bread (any kind, white, white, stale fresh) 1/4 c. molasses 1/4 c. hot water sugar Preheat oven to 400. Cut bread into 9 pieces from each slice (big crouton size). Place on rimmed baking sheet (I spray with Pam or non-stock spray first). Mix water and molasses, pour over croutons. Sprinkle croutons with sugar. Put in oven and lower oven to 250. Bake at 250 for 2 hours. At the end of 2 hours, turn off oven and leave croutons in oven overnight. |
| Sounds yummy, Paula.
Do you store them in a bag? - I am assuming they are hard and crunchy and dry when they are done. |
| I keep them in a Tupperware like container because I leave them at the barn and don't want mice to get them. But you can store in a bag. Yep, they are hard and brown and crunchy and goodness. And cheap and easy! |
