Easter Bunny Biscuits

Recipe by Mat Follas for The happy egg co.

It’s the eggs that give these biscuits a sticky, chewiness that makes them irresistible. You can replace the Almonds with 30g Cocoa or 50g Peanut Butter for different flavours

To make the Biscuits

Biscuits
In a bowl, mix the butter and sugar together with an electric
blender, until they form a creamy paste. Add the eggs and egg
yolks and mix, then fold in the almonds and flour with a wooden
spoon or spatula until fully combined.

Press the mixture into a greased tray to a thickness of about ¼”
(6mm). Place in a preheated oven at 180°C for 10-12 minutes.

The biscuit mixture is ready when it has just started to colour.
Carefully turn out onto a sheet of baking parchment on a flat cool
surface.

While still warm to touch, use a cookie cutter to press out the
shapes but don’t try to lift them out until completely cooled, or
they’ll break.

Icing
Mix the butter and icing sugar together in a bowl, adding the milk
as needed to make a smooth paste (It’s much easier if you warm
the butter).


First, ice the biscuits all over with the plain icing, then add a little
food colouring to the icing, spoon it into a piping bag and draw
the outlines and eyes.


The happy egg co.
Picture
In 2010, I was proud to be asked to become brand ambassador for the happy egg co.
The happy egg co. is the UK’s number one brand of free range eggs, and believe that hen welfare is key.

The happy egg co. are firmly of the belief that happy hens lay wonderfully tasty eggs, which is why they want to be experts in hen husbandry and ahead of the game to make sure the girls are as happy as can be. They’ve even won a Good Egg award from Compassion in World Farming in recognition of all their hard work.

They believe that hens enjoy being busy and that’s why they not only provide wide open pastures for the hens to roam and forage, but also equip all of their farms with an assortment of activities to enhance the hens’ natural environment. This includes play kits for perching, sandpits, trees and brashings. Only specially selected British free range farms are chosen to become happy egg farms, all of which are approved by both the British Lion Standard and RSPCA Freedom Food.
