Honey Bunnies Recipe

Ingredients

1½ cups flour, unbleached

2 pkg active dry yeast

1 tsp salt

⅔ cup evaporated milk

½ cup water

½ cup honey

½ cup margarine, melted

2 pcs eggs

3½ cups flour, unbleached

½ cup honey

¼ cup margarine, melted

½ cup raisins

To prepare the batter, combine flour, undissolved yeast, and salt in a mixing bowl; set aside.

In a skillet, heat evaporated milk, water, honey, and margarine until very warm in 120 to 130 degrees F.

Gradually add to dry ingredients; beat 2 minutes at medium speed.

Add eggs and flour. Beat 2 minutes at high speed.

Place in a mixing bowl coated with cooking spray.

Cover tightly with plastic wrap.

Refrigerate for 24 hours.

On a lightly floured surface, divide the dough into 15 pieces.

Roll each into a 20-inch rope.

Divide each rope into: 1 12-inch (body), 1 5-inch (head), and 3 1-inch (ears and tail) strips.

Coil pieces to make body and head; attach ears and tail to head and body.

Place bunnies on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray.

Cover; let rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, 20 to 25 minutes.

Bake at 375 degrees F for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Remove to wire racks.

Meanwhile to prepare glaze, combine remaining honey and margarine in a saucepan until margarine has melted.

Brush bunnies with glaze while warm. Then, decorate with raisins for eyes.
