Ingredients
Scale
French Toast Mixture
- 12 Hawaiian roll slices
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
For Cooking and Serving
- 2 tablespoons butter for cooking
- Powdered sugar for serving (optional)
- Maple syrup for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and granulated sugar until smooth and well combined.
- Heat the skillet: Place a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter, coating the surface evenly to prevent sticking.
- Dip the rolls: Take each Hawaiian roll slice and dip it into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are fully coated but not soaked to avoid sogginess.
- Cook the French toast: Place the coated roll slices onto the heated skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown and slightly crisp on the outside.
- Repeat and serve: Repeat the dipping and cooking process with the remaining slices, adding more butter to the skillet as needed. Serve the French toast warm, topped with powdered sugar and maple syrup if desired.
Notes
- Hawaiian rolls provide a slightly sweet and soft texture, making the French toast extra fluffy.
- Add fresh fruit such as sliced strawberries or bananas on top for more flavor and freshness.
- For a richer custard, substitute half of the milk with heavy cream.
