  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons butter (for frying)
  • powdered sugar (for dusting)
  • Maple syrup (optional, for serving)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half and set them aside.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, vanilla, cinnamon, and sugar until well combined.
  3. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Cooking
  1. Dip each half of the rolls in the egg mixture, allowing them to soak for a moment.

Notes

You can prepare the batter and soak the rolls the night before, just store them in the fridge and cook them fresh in the morning. Leftovers will keep in an airtight container for 2-3 days in the fridge; they can be frozen for up to a month.
