Ingredients
- 12 Hawaiian rolls
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons butter (for cooking)
- Maple syrup (for serving)
- Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Rolls – If the Hawaiian rolls are not pre-cut, slice them in half.
- Make the Custard – In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.
- Dip the Rolls – Quickly dip each roll into the custard mixture, ensuring it’s coated but not oversaturated.
- Cook the French Toast – Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt a bit of butter. Cook each roll for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Serve Warm – Remove from heat and serve with maple syrup, powdered sugar, or your favorite toppings.
Notes
- For extra flavor, stuff the rolls with cream cheese, Nutella, or fruit preserves before dipping.
- To make it crispy, use slightly stale rolls or toast them lightly before dipping.
- To bake instead of pan-fry, arrange on a baking sheet and bake at 375°F for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway.
