Ingredients
-
4–5 cups all-purpose flour
-
2 packages active dry yeast
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
⅔ cup evaporated milk
-
½ cup water
-
½ cup honey
-
½ cup butter
-
2 eggs
-
Raisins (optional for eyes)
Instructions
-
Prepare Dough: Combine 1 cup flour, yeast, and salt in a bowl. Heat milk, water, honey, and butter until warm; beat into the flour mixture for 2 minutes. Add eggs and 1 cup flour; beat for another 2 minutes. Gradually add remaining flour to form a stiff batter. Chill covered for 2–24 hours.
-
Shape Bunnies: Divide dough into 15 equal pieces. Roll each into a rope. Cut into a 12-inch piece for the body, a 5-inch piece for the head, and three 1-inch pieces for ears and tail. Coil and assemble on a greased baking sheet. Let rise until doubled (about 25 minutes).
-
Bake & Glaze: Bake at 375°F for 12–15 minutes. Brush with a warm honey glaze (½ cup honey + ¼ cup melted butter) while still warm. Add raisin eyes if desired.
Decor Tip: Minimalist Egg Displays for a Modern Twist
As you set your Easter brunch table, consider a minimalist approach to egg displays:
-
Use natural-dyed eggs arranged under clear glass cloches or on wooden trays for a modern, understated look.
-
Add fresh greenery like eucalyptus or ferns around the table for a pop of color and fragrance.

Easter is a time for reflection and renewal—a moment to pause, appreciate the beauty around us, and connect with loved ones. As you enjoy your Honey Bunnies and Easter brunch, take a moment to reflect on the journey of preparation and the joy of sharing these moments with family and friends.
