Equipment

  • Small Mixing Bowls
  • Pastry Brush
  • Pizza Cutter
  • Star Tip for frosting

Ingredients

  • 17.3 ounces Puff Pastry 1 frozen package with 2 sheets
  • 2 tablespoons Butter melted
  • 1 tablespoon Cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Water

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400ºF and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Allow the puff pastry to thaw for 30 minutes prior to using and then roll out both sheets lengthwise onto a flat surface covered with parchment paper.
  • Brush the center of each pastry with the melted butter leaving 1 inch of the edges clean.
  • In a small bowl mix the cinnamon and sugar together. Sprinkle on top of the butter on one of the pastry sheets.
  • Brush water on the clean edges of the pastry you just added the cinnamon sugar mixture to. Then layer the other puff pastry, butter side down, on top and gently press the water-coated edges together.
  • Use a fork to crimp the edges you brushed with water together. Then use your hands to gently press down on the rest of the pastry so it's secure and slightly sealted together.
  • Using a long knife or a pastry cutter slice the pastry in half from one crimped side to the other and then continue to slice the pastry into 16 long strips.
  • Twist each strip twice leaving the edges separated and a large hole at the bottom. Keep the sides facing up so you can see the cinnamon sugar layer. Place the twists on the prepared baking sheets and bake, one at a time, for 17 to 18 minutes until the pastry begins to slightly brown.
  • Allow the pastries to cool for 20 minutes before piping the frosting into the bottom round area of the pastry.

Notes

  • To create a pretty bunny tail use a star tip. 1 4-ounce tube of frosting is enough to pipe tails on all of the bunnies.
  • You could easily pipe more frosting onto the bunnies using a different tip.
