Description

These cute and yummy bunny-shaped buns are great to delight your guests at Easter brunch or any spring meal.

Ingredients

2 cups sour cream
5 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup water
5 cups whole wheat flour
2 eggs
4 tablespoons white sugar
2 teaspoons salt
24 whole black peppercorns

Directions

1 Combine sour cream, butter, and water in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook until butter is melted, then set aside to cool until tepid.
2 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
3 Combine whole wheat flour, eggs, sugar, and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the kneading attachment. Add sour cream mixture and mix at low speed; increase to medium speed as a ball is formed. Add a little more flour if dough is sticky.
4 Form dough into balls. Use clean kitchen scissors to make snips to form ears and add peppercorns for eyes.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
