Play Pump Families Kaposia Cook Book- Spiralbound Cookbook #39

The school at which I used to work was part of the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme.  As part of the units of inquiry, action is required.  The 3rd grade team wanted to provide a play pump (a merry-go-round that drills into the ground to provide water) for a village in Africa. 

To help raise funds, we created a cookbook of recipes from students and staff.  Here's the cookbook:

We, of course, had a contest for the dividers for each section.  Some of the winners included:

The recipe I've chosen to feature is for my friend Kris's EASTER ROLLS...one of my FAVORITES when we had "birthday treats" each month to celebrate staff birthdays:

Kris's Easter Rolls

16 Hungry Jack biscuits, quartered
8 oz. cream cheese
1/2 c. powdered sugar
1 stick butter
1 c. chopped pecans
3/4 c. brown sugar
2/3 c. maple syrup

Line 9 x 13-inch pan with nuts, brown sugar, maple syrup and 1/4 stick melted butter.  Divide each biscuit into quarters and roll each out like a pancake to 2- or 3-inches diameter.  Mix cream cheese, powdered sugar and 3/4 stick of soft butter.  Put 1/2 tsp. of mixture on each pancake.  Roll and put in pan over brown sugar mixture.  Bake at 350 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes.

Enjoy!
