Pick up empty snail shells. Take a little piece of salt pastry and roll it with your hands. Make a sausage with one point thinner than the other.

Cut a toothprick in half and stick the two pieces in the snail’s head, as in the photo.

Put the snail shell or the soup pasta in the middle of the sausage.

Bake the snails at 100 or 120º for two hours.

Wait until they are cool and paint them.
