Ingredients
Units
Scale
- :
- 1 package (12-count) Hawaiian sweet rolls
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon butter (for cooking)
- For Serving (Optional):
- Maple syrup
- Powdered sugar
- Fresh berries
- Whipped cream
Instructions
- :
- Prepare the rolls: Keep the Hawaiian rolls attached in a block, or separate them for individual pieces.
- Make the custard: In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
- Dip the rolls: Lightly coat each roll (or the entire block) in the custard mixture, letting excess drip off.
- Cook: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt butter. Place the rolls on the pan and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
- Serve: Transfer to a plate and top with maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit. Enjoy warm!
Notes
- :
- For extra crispiness, bake the rolls at 200°F for 5 minutes before dipping in the custard.
- If making a large batch, keep cooked French toast warm in a 200°F oven.
- Try adding a dash of nutmeg or swapping vanilla for coconut extract for extra flavor.
