Cinnamon Sugar Easter Bunny Twists

For Easter, I'm going to be showing you a fun Easter treat to make which requires only 5 ingredients as seen by the image below. On this blog post, I'll show you step by step on how to make your own cinnamon sugar bunny twists. These bunnies are very sweet because of the cinnamon sugar and the puff pastry bakes up nice and flaky.

To make your own cinnamon sugar bunny twists:

Pre-heat your oven to 400F/200C/ Gas Mark 6

 

  

Place your butter in a glass bowl and melt the butter in the microwave for 30 seconds

Unroll both your pastry sheets

 

Brush over one of your pastry sheets with butter, making sure you leave about 1/2 inch down each side without butter.

 

Brush over your second pastry sheet with butter and also ensure you leave about 1/2 inch down each side without butter.

 

Combine the sugar and cinnamon into a bowl just like the image below

Pour over the cinnamon mixture over the butter on one of the pastry sheets ensuring you leave the 1/2 inch on each side

Brush water along the 1/2 inch down each side

Place your second pastry sheet on top of your first pastry sheet which has the cinnamon onto it. When doing this, make sure you place the buttery side of the pastry sheet down onto your cinnamon.

Use a fork to crimp the edges where you brushed water and then press the top sheet of pastry down gently so the cinnamon sugar has a chance to be absorbed a bit by the butter

Using a pizza cutter or knife, slice the pastry in half, from one crimped side to the other. Slice the top and bottom section in half, repeating until you have 16 narrow strips going from side to side.

Take each strip and twist it twice to make a shape like you see below, with an open circle at the bottom and the two crimped ends pointing up. Make sure when you do this that the strip is on it’s side, so you can see the cinnamon sugar between the two layers of pastry.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown

OPTIONAL: To add some frosting tails, allow to cool from oven for about 20 minutes. After the 20 minutes, add the white frosting by piping or spreading onto the center of your bunny for the tails.
