These cute snails are a hands-on messy baking activity. They are fun to make and yummy to eat. They make a great sugar-free savory snack and can be made with either Vegemite or Marmite.

Time: 15 minutes plus 15 minutes cooking time
Age: Any age
Level: Medium

Materials

3 cups self raising flour

1.5 cups milk

50g butter at room temperature

3 tbs Vegemite or Marmite

1 cup grated cheese

Pinch salt

Raisins

Ingredients ready to go

Method

Wash hands first!

Measure the flour into a big bowl

Chop the butter into little pieces and add to the flour

Let little hands get stuck in and rub the butter into the flour

Rubbing the butter into the flour

Add milk and mix with hands until you get a soft dough

Get stuck in

Make a large ball and a small ball

Flour the work surface then roll the large ball into a thin rectangle

Spoon small dollops of Vegemite or Marmite over the rectangle and spread out

Add the grated cheese

Roll the rectangle lengthways into a spiral roll (like a Swiss roll)

Rolling into a long spiral roll

Slice the roll into sections a few centimetres thick. We made nine pieces

Turn each slice on its side to get a spiral snail shell

Now divide the smaller ball of dough into pieces and roll each one into a sausage shape. This is your snail body

Stick the body to the shell by brushing water on the join and press together.

Ready to bake

Add a raisin for an eye

Place your snails carefully on a greased baking tray. Bake for 15 minutes at 200 degrees or until golden.

Whilst the snails are baking, fill a sink with lots of bubbles and warm water and let the little ones do the washing up.
