Perkeys Baked Rabbit Recipes

BEST BAKED RABBIT

Steps:

• Place flour, corn flakes, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, sugar, yeast and paprika in a food processor and process on high for one minute. Make sure the corn flakes are crushed so you will add enough. After one minute and the mixture is thoroughly mixed slowly add the olive oil while processing for another one minute.
• Preheat oven to 350'F and grease a baking pan with the cooking oil.
• Rinse rabbit pieces and drain.
• Dredge rabbit pieces in prepared coating mix and coat them thoroughly. Make sure rabbit is wet so coating sticks well, but not too wet or the coating will get lumpy and sticky.
• Place coated rabbit pieces on baking pan with oil.
• Cook in oven for 50 minutes.
• Use a spatula to remove stuck pieces after cooking.

PEAR & BANANA BUNNY RABBIT TREATS FOR BUNNIES/RABBITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
• Mash together pear and bananas with honey until smooth.
• Grind pellets, oats, and Cheerios using a coffee grinder (use a grinder only used to make rabbit treats). Mix in with pear/banana mixture until well blended together and allow to cool if you've steamed the pears.
• Place the dough on either a piece of parchment paper or a Silpat (silicone baking) mat. Whichever you use, place it on a baking sheet for stability.
• Place a piece of plastic wrap over the dough and roll out until it's about 1/4 inch thick.
• Some folks use a cookie cutter for the next step, but I just score the rolled-out dough with a large knife in any pattern I want. Be very careful you're not cutting the material beneath the dough (either the paper or the Silpat). You only need to SCORE the dough, not cut all the way through. When they're done, they'll easily break apart.
• Cook for 30 minutes or until brown on bottom. Check at 20 minutes. My guy doesn't like them overdone.
• Let cool - for a crunchier treat, turn off the oven, leaving the sheet in until it cools.
• Once cooled, place in sealed container or bag and refrigerate or freeze. I usually keep a weeks' worth in the refrigerator and the rest are divided into weekly portions and go into vacuum-packed bags in the freezer.
