Do you like to bake? Then give this cinnamon-snail recipe a whirl!
What You Need
- can of refrigerated biscuit or bread dough
- flour
- cinnamon
- sugar
- melted butter
- slivered almonds or string licorice
What You Do
- Preheat oven to 400°.
- Knead entire can of dough and form into a large ball. Spread it out with a rolling pin on a floured surface until the dough is a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. (If it’s too sticky, you can add a small amount of flour.)
- Mix together equal amounts of cinnamon and sugar in a bowl.
- Brush melted butter over the dough. Then sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar mixture on the dough until it’s evenly covered.
- Starting with one of the short sides of the rectangle, roll up the dough to form a tight, spiraled log.
- Cut the log into slices about 1/2 inch thick. (Ask an adult for help.) Carefully place the slices on a greased cookie sheet or one lined with parchment paper.
- Unwrap the outside end of each slice and form into the shape of a snail’s head.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the snails start to turn golden brown. While the snails are cooling, push two almond slivers or two small pieces of licorice into each head to create tentacles.
