What’s the difference between a fritter and a bear claw?
SHAPE: Rectangular with slices along one side to resemble a bear’s toes. NOTES: While the bear claw is sometimes considered a donut, it’s common for bear claws to be almond-flavored pastries more similar to fritters in texture.
How can you tell if a bear claw is real?
Start by examining the underside of the claw. If genuine (mammal) claw, there should be a deep, open channel formed by the free edges of the lower walls of the claw sheath (unguis). The unguis covers the underlying bony projection that forms the claw’s skeletal support. This channel is called the subungual groove.
How strong are bear claws?
