wiseheartThis one is cheap and very simple. The original idea is from the chefkoch.de website, but I've modified it a bit.
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 package of ready-made puff pastry dough
(mine was frozen, which made it a bit difficult to work with; try to find the fresh version)
- 1 egg
- some leftover jam (mine was apricot, but it really doesn't matter, any sort of jam would work just as well)
- a few raisins, cut in tiny pieces (for the eyes)
- eventually some icing sugar (not stricktly necessary)
How to make it:
1. Pre-heat the oven to 170°C and cover the baking tin with baking paper.
2. Roll out the dough and cut little bunnies or other Easter figures out of it.
3. Paint half of them with beaten egg.
4. Put a small amount of jam in the middle.
5. Lay another figure over it, press the edges closed, or else the jam will leak out (it happened to me, despite all my efforts, alas!), paint them with beaten egg again and make them eyes from the raisin pieces.
6. You can sprinkle them with icing sugar, either now, or when they're done but still warm. I didn't do it.
7. Bake them for cca 10 minutes until golden brown and risen to double thickness.
And that's basically it. I got 39 small bunny-shaped cookies out of one package of pastry - so much that we shared with all our neighbours. The small kids were very excited about the bunnies.
