Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 8 pieces Hawaiian rolls The star of the show
  • 4 large eggs For the custardy coating
  • 1 cup milk Adds creaminess (substitute with almond milk for a dairy-free option)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon For warmth and sweetness
  • 1 tablespoon sugar Optional, for extra sweetness
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract To elevate the flavor
  • 2 tablespoons butter For cooking
  • maple syrup for serving Generously drizzled on top

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, whisk together your eggs, milk, cinnamon, sugar, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  2. Cut the Hawaiian rolls in half and gently dip each half into the egg mixture, making sure to soak them for just a few seconds.
  3. Heat a generous pat of butter in a skillet over medium heat until melted and bubbling.
  4. Place the soaked rolls in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they achieve a lovely golden brown color.
  5. Serve warm, generously drizzled with maple syrup for that classic touch.

Notes

Use stale Hawaiian rolls for better absorption of the egg mixture. Avoid over-soaking the rolls to prevent them from falling apart. Keep cooked pieces warm in a low oven if preparing a large batch.
