Cooking Instructions
- Mix Your Dough:
- Blend yogurt and flour until smooth. Add flour bit by bit until you get a workable dough that isn't sticky or dry.
- Create Your Bunnies:
- Divide into 6 equal balls. Turn each into a body plus two ears. Make the ears by rolling tiny pieces into pointy strips.
- Put Them Together:
- Lay them on a buttered baking sheet with gaps between. Stick the ears on at angles, pressing firmly. Make them look like sleeping bunnies.
