Ingredients
Scale
12 Hawaiian rolls
4 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Maple syrup, for serving
Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
Slice each Hawaiian roll in half horizontally and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar until well combined.
Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface.
Dip each half of the Hawaiian roll into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated but not soaked.
Place the coated rolls in the skillet, cut side down, and cook for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side.
Repeat the process with the remaining rolls, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
Serve warm with maple syrup drizzled on top and a dusting of powdered sugar, if desired.
Notes
For a tropical twist, add crushed pineapple to the egg mixture or serve with a pineapple syrup.
Substitute almond milk or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
