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.
