Fresh baked bread is always awesome, but it's not always fun. Shaping store-bought bread or biscuit dough into alligators (nomsters!) or these adorable turtles makes any meal or snack that much better.
You'll Need. . .
How To
You'll Need. . .
- 1 tube store-bought biscuit dough (per every 4 turtles) - I'm using Honey Butter flavor, but you can use whatever type you like
- Sharp knife
- Cookie sheet
How To
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (or whatever temperature your biscuit dough calls for)
- Pop open the tube of dough (this is one of the best parts!)
- Remove the dough from the package
- Cut one biscuit into quarters
- Slice into two of the quarters to form two legs
- Cut one quarter in half to make a tail
- Form the remaining quarter into a teardrop shape (for the head)
- Place the head, tail, and legs under another biscuit and transfer to your pan
- Using the tip of your knife, score the top of the biscuit in a cross-hatch pattern
- Repeat steps 4 - 9 for the remaining biscuits
- Bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until golden brown
- Enjoy!

when I tried to eat it, it ate me!
It was a very awkward moment, I had to eat myself

we dont have these tube doughs anymore in england so tried the betty crocker mixture recipie. Got it to a tube. Sort of made a turtle. Baked it.
turned into a flat monster thing :( completly lost its shape. Maybe the tube doughs have something to stop them expanding or i made each segment too wide. the shape seemed right. just the width maybe.. will try again :)

Hmm, I think they have yeast, but I'm not sure. You might want to try a rolled biscuit (American biscuit, though a cookie might work also) or scone-type recipe.

The last time my daughter visited me here, we were driving on a main highway. She spotted a turtle crawling toward the traffic and had me turn around so she could rescue it. by the time we did that he was gone. I am sure he made it across OK though. I will post pictures! thanks again.

Cute turtle! Almost too cute to eat, but then who could resist biscuits.

Thanks! I think any biscuit-gobbling excuse is a good one.
