Making Resurrection Rolls

As a part of my effort to make Easter meaningful this year we did a whole lot of activities which you can read about here.

After lunch on Sunday we made Resurrection Rolls. I used the recipe I found here. As we don't have Pillsbury Crescent dough I used plain old frozen short crust pastry. They didn't taste wonderful because the pastry was hard but they amazed the children and got the point across.

When you bake the rolls the marshmallow melts and 'disappears' leaving the 'tomb' (roll) empty. It was a very effective demonstration of Christ's resurrection. When CG was asked where the Jesus marshmallow had gone he said "he is risen deed" (he is risen indeed), which is the response to our Easter Sunday greeting - The Lord is Risen, He is Risen Indeed.
