Bunny Bao
Food blogger Maki Ito's Far East–Easter mashup:
Putting Easter and dim sum together, I devised these bunny shaped bao, or steamed buns. (The inspiration for the shape came from a pair of fluffy white bunny slippers I saw at a flea market last summer.) They are quite simple really: tender steamed bun dough is filled and formed into an oval, and the ears are cut with scissors.
Ito filled these steamed buns with a mixture of egg, bacon, and chives.

I know! It makes some sort of weird sense. I wonder if you could make roast rabbit buns?

Oh it's so darn cute! I think you can make it into roast rabbit buns but you have to change the bread dough's recipe.

Thanks for the link Adam! Just one thing...or maybe two... my last name is spelled Itoh (not Ito...) and like, you can call me by my first name, not my last :P
