Steps:
- In a small saucepan, heat milk with honey, stirring, over low heat just until lukewarm and remove pan from heat. Stir in yeast and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Add butter and yolks, whisking until combined well.
- Transfer milk mixture to bowl of a standing electric mixer (or to a large bowl, if kneading by hand). Add flour and salt gradually to milk mixture, stirring until incorporated. With dough hook, knead dough until smooth, about 2 minutes. (Alternatively, dough may be kneaded by hand on a lightly floured surface until smooth, 10 to 15 minutes.)
- Transfer dough to a lightly oiled large bowl and turn to coat with oil. Let dough rise, covered with plastic wrap, in refrigerator overnight, or until doubled in bulk. (Alternatively, dough may be allowed to rise in a warm place about 2 hours, or until doubled in bulk.)
- Grease 2 baking sheets. Punch down dough and divide into 12 pieces. Form each piece into an egg shape and transfer pieces to prepared baking sheets. Form a bunny tail on each piece by holding scissors, points down, perpendicular to baking sheet and making a 1/2-inch-long snip at base of wide end. Form 2 bunny ears on each piece by making a narrow 2-inch-long snip on each side, starting near wide end and cutting toward narrow end. Form eyes on each piece by making 2 holes in narrow end with a wooden pick and pressing a currant half firmly into each hole with pick.
- Brush half of warm glaze on rolls and let rise, covered loosely with plastic wrap, in a warm place 45 minutes or less, or until doubled, in bulk (rising will take longer if dough is cold).
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Heat remaining glaze over low heat just until warm and brush rolls. Bake rolls in upper and lower thirds of oven, switching position of sheets in oven halfway through baking, 20 minutes, or until golden, and transfer to racks to cool.
- Serve rolls warm or at room temperature.
- In a small saucepan, heat glaze ingredients over low heat, stirring occasionally, until butter is melted. Remove pan from heat and keep glaze warm, covered.
HONEY BUNNIES (ROLLS)
These are very cute and very tasty little dinner rolls. They are sweeter than normal ones because of the honey, but make a good companion to food none the less. Perfect for Easter because of their cute bunny shapes! Just make sure that you plan ahead to make these because it takes times for them to rise and to shape them. i think they taste better warm and are more of a dense sweet bread good with coffee or tea

GOLDEN HONEY PAN ROLLS
A cousin in North Carolina gave me the recipe for these delicious honey-glazed rolls. Using my bread machine to make the dough saves me about 2 hours compared to the traditional method. The rich buttery taste of these rolls is so popular with family and friends that I usually make two batches so I have enough! -Sara Wing, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

- Be patient when rising the dough: It is important to let the dough rise until it has doubled in size. This will ensure that the rolls are light and fluffy.
- Shape the dough carefully: When shaping the dough into bunnies, be careful not to overwork it. Overworking the dough will make the rolls tough.
- Bake the rolls until they are golden brown: The rolls should be baked until they are golden brown on top. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
- Brush the rolls with honey glaze: Once the rolls are baked, brush them with honey glaze. This will give them a sweet and shiny glaze.
