Easter Morning Roll

My hubby worked for the Pillsbury Company for for 33 years.  The Bake-Off was an event we all looked forward to.  This recipe was a winner in 1969.  These rolls are very easy to make, and are very good.  Many Christian families make these during Holy Week to teach their children about the Resurrection, as the marshmallow disappears during cooking.  It is a quick roll to make for Easter Brunch, and a good illustration of the empty tomb that was found on Easter Morning.

Ingredients:
Rolls
1/4 C sugar
2 TBS flour
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 8oz cans of Pillsbury crescent rolls
16 large marshmallows
1/4 C butter, melted

Glaze:
1/2 C powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
2-3 tsp. milk
1/2 C pecans, chopped

Instructions:
Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 16 medium muffin cups with No-Stick Cooking Spray. In small bowl, mix granulated sugar, flour and cinnamon.

    I had my Home Ec classes make these back in the 1970's. We called them Magic Marshmallow Crescent Puffs. I've always loved them.

    Hi Patsy, thanks for sharing your delicious looking rolls at Your Cozy Home Party. That is interesting information about teaching the Easter story using the rolls. They would be wonderful with a good cup of coffee for breakfast any day.--------- Shannon
