Equipment
- Large skillet or griddle

Ingredients
- 8 Hawaiian sweet rolls sliced in half or whole
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup milk or heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon sugar optional
- 2 tablespoons butter for cooking
- Maple syrup powdered sugar, or fresh fruit for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Custard – In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar until smooth.
- Slice the Rolls – Keep the Hawaiian rolls whole for pull-apart style or slice them in half for individual pieces.
- Dip the Rolls – Lightly soak each piece in the custard mixture for a few seconds per side, ensuring they absorb flavor without getting soggy.
- Cook to Perfection – Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt butter. Place the soaked rolls on the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Serve Immediately – Remove from heat and serve warm with syrup, powdered sugar, or your favorite toppings.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use half-and-half instead of milk.
- Try adding fillings like Nutella, cream cheese, or jam before dipping.
- Best served immediately, but leftovers can be stored and reheated.
