These would be a huge hit with kids and were a huge hit with my husband. (chuckle)

BUNNY BISCUITS
adapted slightly from Joy of Cooking
c. 1973
1.) Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2.) Prepare fluffy biscuits:
-Stir together: 1 3/4 cups flour, 2 1/2 t. double-acting baking powder, 1 1/4 t. salt, 1 T. sugar
-Cut in 6 T. chilled butter
-Add 3/4 cup milk
Stir lightly into the flour mixture, using a fork. Turn dough onto a floured surface (I use a silpat). Knead lightly for 1/2 minute.
3.) Roll dough to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut it out with 2 sizes of cookie cutters (one 3-inch and one 1.5-inch cutter). The 3-inch cookie cutter will be used for the bottom or "rear" of the bunny. The 1.5-inch cutter will be used for the bunny's head. Then use the smaller cutter to cut out bunny ears from the sides of your rolled out dough. Roll leftover scraps of dough into balls for the tails. Overlap each part of the bunny so that it bakes together.
4.) Bake on a pizza stone or cookie sheet with a silpat for about 15 minutes or until golden.

Hi Kady - Very cute. Happy Easter!
Adorable! I'll have to remember that trick for Easter next year.
lol, 2am?!? you are my hero, that is dedication!
I agree with Vanessa--If I'm hungry at two am the best I can muster is a handful of dried cereal or ice cream out of the container. Nice work!
