Equipment

  • 2 Piping bags
  • 1 Star tipped piping nozzle

Ingredients

For the biscuits

  • 225 g vegan butter
  • 75 g icing sugar
  • 1/2 tsp almond extract
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 250 g plain flour
  • 25 g cornflour
  • 3 tbsp plant milk e.g. soy milk
  • 1 lemon zest and juice

For the buttercream

  • 100 g vegan butter
  • 175 g icing sugar

Instructions

  • Line two baking sheets with grease proof paper and place to one side.
  • In a bowl, cream together the butter and icing sugar until pale and creamy using an electric whisk.
  • Whisk in the almond and vanilla extracts and 1 tbsp of lemon juice.
  • In a separate bowl sift together the plain flour and cornflour then add the lemon zest.
  • Add the flour and cornflour mix to the butter and icing sugar in thirds. In between each third of flour/cornflour, whisk in 1 tbsp of plant milk.
  • Spoon the dough into a piping bag that has been fitted with a star tipped nozzle.
  • Pipe 20 bunnies of equal size across the two baking sheets.
  • Once piped, place them into the fridge for at least 30 minutes or in the freezer for at least 15 minutes.
  • While the bunnies chill, pre-heat the oven to 180C / 356F /gas mark 4.
  • Once the bunnies have chilled, place into the centre of the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes.
  • Remove them from the oven once the edges have become to go golden brown.
  • Leave them to cool down on the trays.
  • In the meantime, mix the icing sugar, butter and 2 tbsp lemon juice to make the buttercream.
  • As soon as the bunnies are cold, fill a second piping bag with the buttercream and pipe a small amount of buttercream on the flat side of a bunny then sandwich together with another bunny.
  • Repeat until all the biscuit bunnies and buttercream have been used
