A bear claw is a sweet, yeast-raised pastry, a type of Danish, originating in the United States during the mid-1910s.[1][2][3][4] In Denmark, a bear claw is referred to as a kam.[5] France also has an alternate version of that pastry: patte d'ours (meaning bear paw), created in 1982 in the Alps. The name bear claw as used for a pastry is first attested in March 1914 by the Geibel German Bakery,[1] located at 915 K Street in downtown Sacramento.[6][7] The phrase is more common in Western American English,[8] and is included in the U.S. Regional Dialect Survey Results, Question #87, "Do you use the term 'bear claw' for a kind of pastry?"[9]
