Easter brunch recipe idea: Resurrection Buns/Empty Tomb Biscuits

March 30, 2013 Leave a Comment

Celebrate the true meaning of Easter with this delicious addition to your brunch table. An especially good way to illustrate the Bible for children.

Ingredients
1 can Grands refrigerated biscuits
1/2 stick butter, melted
1/2 cup sugar
large marshmallows

Mix sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl
Melt butter in another small bowl and cool to room temperature
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with foil and spraying well with non-stick spray

Give each person a biscuit. The biscuit represents the cloth that Jesus was wrapped in. Have them flatten the biscuit so it is think enough to wrap around the marshmallow, about six inches across.

Give each person a marshmallow. This represents Jesus. Dip the marshmallow in melted butter, representing the oils of embalming. Now dip the buttered marshmallow in the cinnamon and sugar, representing the spices used to anoint the body.

Then wrap the coated marshmallow lightly in the flattened biscuit. Seal the biscuit well. This represents the wrapping of Jesus’ body after death. Place on prepared baking sheet. (Biscuits may be baked immediately or placed in refrigerator overnight. Optional: brush with leftover butter and roll tops in leftover sugar.)

Bake according to directions on biscuit can (pretend like they’re in there three days!) Cool 10-15 minutes (center will be very hot).

Open to rolls (cloth) and discover that the marshmallow is gone!

Jesus has Risen!
