Ingredients

  • 1 can (5 ounces) tuna packed in water
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 cup whole wheat flour

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Spoon

Instructions

  1. Drain the tuna: Open the can and pour the tuna into the strainer over the sink. Press gently with the back of a fork to remove as much liquid as possible so the dough will not turn sticky.

  2. Break up the tuna: Transfer the drained tuna to the mixing bowl and use the fork to flake it into small pieces until no large chunks remain.

  4. Mix in the flour: Measure the flour and sprinkle it over the tuna mixture. Stir with the fork, then switch to using clean hands to press and knead until a soft dough forms that holds together when squeezed.

  5. Shape the biscuits: Pinch off small pieces of dough about the size of a marble and roll them gently between your palms into round bites. Place them on the parchment-lined baking sheet with a little space between each one.
