Ingredients
- 12 Hawaiian sweet rolls
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Maple syrup for serving
- Powdered sugar for serving
- Fresh berries for serving
Instructions
- Slice the Hawaiian sweet rolls in half horizontally, keeping the tops and bottoms connected. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the custard mixture into a shallow dish or pie plate for easy dipping.
- Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add one tablespoon of butter.
- Dip the bottoms of the rolls in the custard mixture, allowing them to soak for a few seconds without becoming overly soggy.
- Place the soaked rolls cut-side down onto the hot skillet. Cook until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Flip and cook the other side until golden, another 2 to 3 minutes, adding more butter if needed.
- Repeat with the remaining rolls, working in batches if necessary.
- Serve warm with maple syrup, powdered sugar, and fresh berries as desired.
