I don’t know who to credit with these tasty rolls; but they certainly have a good imagination. On Easter Sunday, our church has them available for everyone to enjoy. The marshmallow melts leaving the “tomb” empty with everyone in the congregation trying to figure out how it was accomplished. Sound familiar?
1 1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
Mix in saucepan and heat until boiling stage. Set aside to cool.
2 Tblsp sugar
1 1/2 Tblsp yeast
1/4 cup tepid water
Let sit for 10 minutes.
Beat 2 eggs with a fork and add to cooled milk mixture. Beat in yeast mixture and then add 4 cups flour. Mix well. Cover and let rise for 2 hours. Punch down. Wrap a piece of dough around a large marshmallow – dunk it in melted margarine – then roll in cinnamon sugar. Put on greased cookie sheet. Repeat until the dough is all used up. Cover and let rise until double in size. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes.
Note: If you don’t have any cinnamon sugar on hand, it’s easy enough to make your own. Try 1 tblsp cinnamon to 1/2 cup sugar – this can be adjusted to suit individual tastes for more or less cinnamon.
