How to Make Resurrection Buns Sweet Easter Buns

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon.
  3. Prepare your favorite yeast dough recipe (enough for approximately 12 buns). Alternatively, use store-bought dough.
  4. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
  5. Place a mini marshmallow (approximately 1 inch diameter) in the center of each dough ball.
  6. Gently enclose the marshmallow completely within the dough, ensuring it's well-sealed.
  7. Melt 1/2 cup unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl.
  8. Dip each dough ball into the melted butter, ensuring it's fully coated.
  9. Roll the buttered dough ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  10. Place the buns onto a greased baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each bun to allow for rising.
  11. Loosely cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and let the buns rise in a warm place for 35-45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
  12. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and the marshmallows are slightly softened. If the tops are browning too quickly, tent loosely with foil.
  13. Let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. Enjoy warm!
