Bunny Biscuits
Ingredients
4 ounces butter
6 ounces flour
2 ounces light muscovado sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
grated rind of 1 lemon
1 large egg yolk
2-3 tablespoons water
currants or raisins and marshmallows to decorate
Method
Preheat oven to 350Ã'°F. In a mixing bowl, cut butter into
flour until
it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the muscovado sugar*, ground
cinnamon and the grated lemon rind. Mix in the egg yolk and enough
water to make a soft dough. Knead dough on a floured surface until
smooth. Roll out a 1/4 inch thick. Cut out biscuits with a bunny
cookie cutter or make a template and cut out biscuits with a knife.
Place on ungreased baking sheets and bake for 10 to 15 minutes until
a pale golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
Decorate with raisins for eyes and marshmallows for tails, fixing
them on with a little decorate icing.
Yield: 24 bisuits
*Muscovado sugar: It is dark sugar from India Tree Not your usual
dark sugar combo of refined sugar and added molasses, this is the
complex, rich, unrefined real thing. This sugar is perfect for
cakes, fudge, pecan pie or coffee. From Mauritius, off the coast of
Africa. I*ve also found it is very expensive, and I used plain old
brown sugar and it works just as well. But if you want to try the
muscovado sugar, the taste is very very good
