Semi-Homemade Bear Claws Pastry w/Glazes
 |

From my research, I found that this recipe can be hard to make from scratch. It's usually made with a sweet yeast dough or Danish pastry dough and I think it takes a few tries to finally get it right. The butter has to be room temperature and what not, but if you want to make this treat quick, take the semi-homemade technique and start off with biscuits! The filling, topping, and the glaze is the homemade part and you can alter these parts with whatever you like to make this recipe your own!
I have two types of glazes that you can try it or do a mixture of the two. You'll find them right below the recipe. Hope you try it!
Ingredients:
4 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup orange marmalade
1/4 cup raisins
2 (12 oz.) cans refrigerated buttermilk flaky biscuits
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Grease a large cookie sheet. In small bowl, combine cream cheese, marmalade, and raisins; blend well. Separate dough into 20 biscuits. Press or roll each biscuit to a 4-inch circle.
Spoon 1 tablespoon cream cheese mixture on center of 10 of the biscuits; top with remaining biscuits. Press edges with fork to seal; cut five 1/2-inch slits, 1 inch apart around 1 side of each biscuit to resemble a bear claw. Dip biscuits in topping.

Coffee Glaze
Ingredients:
