2 1/2 c. whole wheat flour
1/2 c. wheat germ
1/2 c. non fat powdered dry milk
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. brown sugar
8 tbsp. meat (beef, bacon) drippings or butter
1 egg, beaten
2 tbsp. beef or chicken broth
1/2 c. or more ice water
Crumbled bacon and/or grated cheese, if desired

In large bowl, of food processor container, combine flour, wheat germ, dry milk, salt, garlic powder and brown sugar. Cut in or process, meat drippings (or butter) into mixture until crumbly. Add egg and broth through a feeder tube with machine running, if using a processor, and mix thoroughly. Add crumbled bacon and/or grated cheese, if desired. Add ice water as needed to form mixture into a ball. If processor is used, add water through feeder tube with machine running, just until mixture leaves the side of the bowl and starts forming a ball on metal blades. Pat or roll out dough on floured surface to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut into "bone" biscuit shapes; place on cookie sheet lined with foil and oiled lightly. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until quite hard and brown at edges. Makes about 18 large biscuits.
