| Easter TraditionsResurrection BunsTo most Christians, Easter is probably the holiest of holidays celebrated. Family traditions are important during this holiday, and our forum members have shared two wonderful recipes they use to celebrate the rising of Christ.
Resurrection Buns
From Sharon D.
- Each child takes a Grand (or other large ) canned biscuit. They flatten the biscuit out until it's about 5 inches across. They spread melted butter, sugar and cinnamon on it. We explain that the spices represent the spices
used to anoint Jesus' body before His burial.
- Then each child gets one large marshmallow. The marshmallow represents Jesus. It is white because it
stands for His purity and His sinless life. They place the marshmallow in
the center of the biscuit, then fold the sides around it forming a
"tomb". (I help the younger children pinch the sides of their
tombs closed and then we place them crease side down on a baking sheet so
they will not open while cooking). Put more butter, cinnamon and sugar on
the outside. We talk about the sweet taste of the spices and how Jesus gave
us the sweetest gift we will ever receive.
- At this point you can go ahead and bake the buns. We wait and bake them in
the morning while the kids are hunting the eggs. They need to bake
following the directions on the biscuit package. Then they need a little
cooling time because the marshmallow will be very hot.
- When the children bite into their buns they will be surprised to find the
center empty. The marshmallow has melted. As each child discovers the empty tomb, we repeat : He is not here for He is risen.
- It has become a wonderful Easter morning tradition in our home. My kids
start asking weeks in advance if we're going to make "empty tomb
buns" again.
