Dinosaur Claws

Dinosaur Claws
- from the book, Snacktivities
Serves 5

Here's an easy recipe, and fun for kids.  
    This photo gives some idea of the results,
    but when making your Dinosaur Claws, stick the almonds
    into the dough to look like claws, not sprinkled on top. 

 

Ingredients:

1 can of refrigerator biscuits
margarine, melted
cinnamon sugar
almond slivers

 

 

Utensils:

oven, preheated to 425º degrees F or according to biscuit directions
baking sheet
pastry brush
oven mitts
squares of clean, plain cardboard
permanent markers

Process:

1. Bake the biscuits according to package directions, usually about 8 to 10 minutes.

2. Wear oven mitts and remove the baking sheet and biscuits from the oven.

3. Brush each biscuit with melted margarine. Sprinkle biscuits with cinnamon sugar.

4. While the biscuit is still very warm, carefully insert 5 almond slivers around the edge of the biscuit so it looks like the claws of a dinosaur.

5. Draw tracks near the edges on the clean squares of cardboard with the permanent markers.

6. Serve the claws on the cardboard squares.
