Description
Soft and buttery Hawaiian rolls are dipped in a rich cinnamon-vanilla custard, then cooked on the stovetop until golden and coated in a sweet cinnamon sugar mixture for an irresistible and flavorful breakfast or brunch treat.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 12 Hawaiian sweet rolls
- 3 large eggs
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp butter
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the custard mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until fully combined to create a smooth, flavorful custard.
- Make the cinnamon sugar coating: In a separate bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly to prepare the coating that will be used after cooking.
- Heat the skillet: Place a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt the butter, ensuring it coats the surface evenly and is hot enough for cooking the rolls.
- Dip the Hawaiian rolls: Take each Hawaiian roll and dip it into the egg mixture, making sure all sides are well coated with the custard to absorb the flavorful mixture.
- Cook the rolls: Place the custard-coated rolls onto the hot skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until they develop a golden brown crust that is slightly crispy but still soft inside.
- Coat with cinnamon sugar: While the French toast rolls are still warm, immediately roll them in the prepared cinnamon sugar mixture so the coating sticks well and adds a sweet crunch.
- Serve: Serve the coated rolls warm, optionally with maple syrup for added sweetness, and enjoy this delicious, comforting breakfast treat.
Notes
- Great for holiday breakfasts and brunches, offering a festive and sweet option.
- Adding a cream cheese glaze can increase richness and sweetness for an indulgent twist.
