Ingredients
For the French Toast
- 12 Hawaiian rolls
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk (or half-and-half for a richer texture)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, for cooking
Optional Toppings
- Maple syrup
- Powdered sugar
- Fresh fruits (berries, bananas, or pineapple slices)
- Whipped cream
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Hawaiian Rolls
- Slice the Rolls: Cut the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally. Keep them whole for easy dipping or separate them into individual rolls if preferred.
- Set Aside: Place the rolls on a plate or baking sheet, ready for dipping.
Step 2: Make the Custard
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Transfer to a Shallow Dish: Pour the custard mixture into a shallow dish, such as a pie plate, to make dipping easier.
Step 3: Dip the Rolls
- Soak the Rolls: Working with a few at a time, dip the Hawaiian rolls into the custard mixture. Let them soak for 5–10 seconds on each side, ensuring they absorb the custard without becoming soggy.
- Shake Off Excess: Gently shake off any excess custard and set the dipped rolls aside on a plate.
