how to escape $@

I'm sure the answer is right in front of me in the manual, but I'm just not seeing it.

One of the rules in my makefile builds another makefile. I need to get the string

"        touch $@"

into the file that the commands build.

Of course, "echo $@" doesn't work, but neither does "echo $\@", \$@, 
address@hidden
What should I use?

Dan
