Recipe preparation

Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

  • All-Purpose Flour: The backbone of any good dessert; use unbleached for better flavor.
  • Sugar: Granulated sugar adds sweetness; adjust based on your taste preference.
  • Baking Powder: Essential for making your bites fluffy; ensure it’s fresh for best results.
  • Salt: A pinch balances sweetness perfectly; don’t skip it!
  • Butter: Use unsalted butter for better control of flavors; it should be softened but not melted.
  • Eggs: They bind everything together; room temperature eggs yield better texture.
  • Fresh Blueberries: Use ripe blueberries for bursts of flavor; frozen will work too but drain excess moisture.
  • Vanilla Extract: Adds depth of flavor; opt for pure vanilla over imitation if possible.
  • Icing Sugar (for decoration): Dust lightly on top to give a sweet finish; optional but highly recommended!

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it Together

Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well-combined and fluffy.

Cream Butter and Sugar: In another bowl, cream the softened butter with sugar until light and fluffy—about 3 minutes should do the trick!

Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time along with vanilla extract until fully incorporated; it should be smooth like a bunny’s fur!

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold the dry mix into the wet ingredients until just combined—be gentle to maintain fluffiness!

Add Blueberries: Gently fold in fresh blueberries being careful not to crush them; we want those juicy pockets intact!

After preparing your batter filled with love (and blueberries), spoon it into bunny-shaped molds or onto your prepared tray. Bake these adorable treats in your preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes. Keep an eye out until they turn golden brown on top!

Once baked, let them cool slightly before dusting them with icing sugar—a final touch that makes them look extra special! Serve them warm or at room temperature; either way, they’re sure to steal the show at your Easter gathering.

And there you have it—the perfect blend of sweetness and whimsy wrapped up in an easy-to-make package!
