Empty Tomb Rolls For Easter Steph Recipes

EMPTY TOMB ROLLS FOR EASTER - STEPH

Steps:

• 1. 350 degree oven. Prepare the ingredients in a little assembly line. Organize in this order: crescent roll dough (separated into triangles), marshmallows, melted butter, and cinnamon and sugar (mixed).
• 2. If using this in a Sunday School class, gather the children. Start each child with a marshmallow and a crescent roll triangle. Tell them that the marshmallow represents Jesus, holy and pure. The roll represents the linen wrapping that was placed about the body before burial.
• 3. Set the marshmallow in the center of the crescent roll and wrap it inside, pinching to seal tightly. The tighter it is sealed, the better it turns out. If not sealed tightly, the marshmallow goo escapes all over the place and is messy. Drop wrapped marshmallow into melted butter and cover thoroughly. This is representative of the embalming oils.
• 4. Next, roll the buttered roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. This represents the spices used to annoint the body. Place the rolls in a muffin pan to bake . Bake for 12 minutes. The oven represents the tomb in which Jesus' body was placed. Pretend the baking period is three days in length.
• 5. Remove the rolls and cool slightly. When the children open the rolls (burial cloth), they will discover that the body is gone! Christ is risen!

EMPTY TOMB ROLLS

Steps:

• Press the rolls flat.
• Place a marshmallow in the center of each roll and pinch the dough around it.
• Press the marshmallow-filled rolls into round-ish balls.
• Brush each roll with butter and sprinkle it with the combined cinnamon and sugar.
• Let the rolls rise for 30-45 minutes.
• Bake them at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
• Just like the tomb on Easter Sunday, these rolls are empty!
• More notes: You can easily make as many or as few as you like! I usually just make 12, which is the perfect amount for a 9x13 pan. I also usually do all the assembly the night before so that on baking day I can just pull them out of the fridge and let them rise on the counter and bake. These are a perfect sweet breakfast for Easter morning!
• (I have listed this as making 12 servings, even though it makes 24 rolls, because we can never eat just one -- and prep. time includes rising.).
