RESERECTION ROLLS

12 Rhoades rolls, (take out of freezer 1 hour before you’re ready to make)

4 TB sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

12 large marshmallows

1/4 cup butter, melted

Combine sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside

Roll marshmallow in butter

Roll in cinnamon sugar mix

Press each portion into a flat circle

Place1 large marshmallow in the center of each roll

Pinch roll dough very firmly around the marshmallow. Roll each into a seamless, or nearly seamless, ball with your hands.

Put each roll into 1 cup of muffin tin

Brush rolls with remaining melted butter. Sprinkle remaining cinnamon/sugar mixture over rolls.

Cover rolls with plastic wrap and put in the fridge overnight.

On Sunday morning, preheat oven to 350°.

Take rolls out of fridge and bake for 15 minutes until rolls are golden brown. Be careful not to overbake. (These may also be baked without sitting overnight. After wrapping the marshmallow in them, let them rise for about an hour or so and then bake them as usual.)
