Easter Bunny Biscuits
Makes 25 approximately
These are rather fun to make for Easter - the kids can make them too.
6 oz (170g/1 cup) plain white flour
4 oz (110g/1 stick) butter
2 oz (55g/ ¼ cup) castor sugar
Decoration:
icing, raisins, tiny speckled eggs
rabbit or chick shaped biscuit cutter
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/regulo 4.
Mix the flour and castor sugar in a bowl, rub in the butter and continue to work until the mixture comes together in a firm dough. Roll into a quarter inch (6mm) thick sheet on a floured board.
Stamp into 'bunny' shapes with a cutter. Bake in the preheated moderate oven for 8 -15 minutes or until pale and golden in colour. Cool on a wire rack.
Decorate with icing, raisins or speckled tiny chocolate eggs where appropriate.
Note: Watch these biscuits really carefully in the oven, because of the high sugar content they burn easily. They should be a pale golden colour – darker will be more bitter.
