Ingredients:
- 2 sheets puff pastry (shop bought)
- 45g melted butter
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar (extra for sprinkling after egg wash)
- 1 tbsp cinnamon (I sprinkle more as I love cinnamon)
- 1 egg + 1 tbsp milk (for egg wash)
- 1 tbsp water (for sealing)
For the fluffy tail:
- 60g unsalted butter, softened
- 100g powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp milk (if needed)
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 400ºF (200ºC) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Lay both sheets of puff pastry lengthwise on a parchment-covered flat surface.
3. Brush melted butter over one pastry sheet, leaving a 1-inch border clean around the edges.
4. Mix cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl, then sprinkle evenly over the buttered pastry.
5. Brush water on the clean edges, then place the second sheet of puff pastry on top, butter side down. Gently press the edges together.
6. Crimp edges with a fork to seal, then lightly press down on the entire surface to secure the layers.
7. Slice the pastry in half lengthwise into strips (approx 1.5cm)
8. Twist each strip twice to form a bunny shape, leaving a hole at the bottom for the tail. Keep the cinnamon sugar side facing up.
9. Place on baking sheets and brush with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar.
10. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown.
11. Cool completely before decorating.
12. Make frosting: Beat butter, icing sugar, and vanilla until smooth, adding milk if needed for a pipeable consistency.
13. Pipe a fluffy tail in the bottom round area using a 2D star tip
14. Enjoy! These adorable bunny twists are perfect for Easter or springtime treats!
