Cute birdseed biscuits

I saw this idea in my latest Family Fun magazine, so the kids and I decided to try it out today. 3 out of 4 of them broke when I put the ribbons in them, but they were still cute and I set them out on a rock for the birds to eat.

Here is the recipe:

	3/4 cup of birdseed
	1 tablespoon flour
	Water
	Cookie cutter
	Oil
	Foil
	Cookie sheet
	Straw
	Ribbon
Time needed: About 1 Hour

1. Our recipe makes two 3-inch biscuits (one is shown here) or a single 4-inch biscuit. Mix together the birdseed, flour, and 2 tablespoons of water.

2. Spray or wipe a cookie cutter with oil and place it on a foil-covered cookie sheet. Pack the mixture into the cutter, inserting half a straw near the top to create a hole for hanging.

3. Bake the biscuit (with the straw) in a 170° oven until the biscuit is hard, about one hour. Let it cool.

4. Remove the straw, thread a ribbon through the hole, and hang it outside in a sheltered spot.
