<P> A bear claw is a sweet , yeast - raised pastry , similar to a Danish , originating in the United States during the mid-1920s . A bear claw is usually filled with almond paste , and sometimes raisins , and often shaped in a semicircle with slices along the curved edge , or rectangular with partial slices along one side . As the dough rises , the sections separate , evoking the shape of a bear 's toes , hence the name . </P>
