60 g Sugar

Directions

1
Melt the fat. Heat milk lukewarm. Dissolve yeast in it. Mix flour and sugar. Knead egg, fat and yeast milk and work into a smooth dough.
2
Dust with flour, cover and leave to rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes. Then knead on a floured work surface and leave to rise for another 15 minutes. (So that the rabbit keeps its shape during baking). Form the dough into a roll and divide it into 16 equal pieces. Shape each piece of dough into a conical roll about 8 cm long. Make a deep cut at the pointed ends and place 2 pieces inside each other to form a rabbit. Brush with egg yolk. Press in cloves as eyes. Place the rabbits on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Let rest for 5-10 minutes.
