Making Your Bunnies
- Mix Your Dough:
- Stir yogurt and flour together until smooth. Add flour bit by bit until you can work with it but it's still soft.
- Create Bunny Shapes:
- Cut dough into 6 pieces. Shape each one into a body plus two ears. Make ears by rolling tiny pieces into pointed strips.
- Put Them Together:
- Set them on a buttered baking sheet with gaps between. Stick ears on at angles, pushing firmly so they stay. Make them look like sleeping bunnies.
