To make the pig faces, roll small pieces of the extra dough into small balls for the ears, snouts, and the feet.
Then pour a small amount of milk into custard cup. Brush each piece with milk to help it stick to the pig's body and face.
Roll a small piece of dough on the counter to make a curly pig's tail.
STEP 4
To finish the pig faces, make some cheeks by cutting deeply into the dough with a spoon. Use the pointed end of a bottle opener to cut the snout and the mouth.
Then carefully place the piggy biscuits on a greased baking sheet. Be sure to use raisins to make some eyes! With adult help, bake in a 450 degree oven about 6 minutes.
Congratulations! You've made 5 piggy biscuits.
DID YOU KNOW:
-- People often think that pigs don't care what they eat. But actually, they are better able to taste food than people are. Pigs have more taste buds than people, and they can detect small differences in flavors.
-- Pigs are used for hunting in France because pigs have very sensitive noses. They are trained to hunt truffles, a special mushroom, by sniffing in the woods for them.
