Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pack (12 rolls) King’s Hawaiian Rolls
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup half-and-half (or whole milk)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 4 tablespoons butter (for cooking)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and half-and-half until well blended. Add vanilla extract, cinnamon, brown sugar, and salt; mix until smooth.
  2. Poke holes in the bottom of each roll using a toothpick or skewer to allow custard absorption.
  3. Dip each roll into the custard mixture for about 30 seconds on each side. Avoid over-soaking.
  4. Heat butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Cook soaked rolls for 30-60 seconds on each side until golden brown.
  5. Serve warm with powdered sugar and your choice of toppings like fresh fruit or maple syrup.
