Snakes Eyes Soup Recipes

SNAKES ON A STICK

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Spray each skewer with non-stick spray.
• Wrap each breadstick around the skewer and flatten out the end a bit.
• You will have to work with the dough a bit, but place 2 black olives on the top for eyes and a small piece of pimiento in the "mouth" for the tongue.
• Bake on a prepared baking sheet for approximately 20 minutes or until the breadsticks are golden brown.
• Remove from the oven and immediately brush with the melted butter and sprinkle with the herbs/spices of your choice. Let cool.
• If desired, slide the skewers off the bread or serve with the skewers in for easy handling.
• NOTE: If desired, make the dough from scratch and use food coloring to make them green or knead in paste food coloring, using gloves to shield your hands from getting stained.

PASTRY SNAKES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/ gas 7. Unroll the pastry and top with a couple of handfuls of parmesan, then fold in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll the pastry out to a thickness of 2mm. Cut into 1cm strips, then twist each strip several times to form a snake.
• Lay out the snakes on a baking sheet, then brush each one with egg and sprinkle with more cheese. To decorate, scatter over the seeds. Flatten one end of each snake and press in two peppercorns for eyes. Bake for 12-14 mins, or until golden. Leave to cool. Will keep for two days in an airtight container.
