Ingredients
Scale
- 1 12 pack 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)
- Powdered sugar (fresh fruit, maple syrup for serving)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and half and half until fully combined.
- Whisk in the vanilla, cinnamon, brown sugar, and salt until incorporated.
- Use a toothpick or skewer to poke several holes in the bottom of each roll so the custard can soak in.
- Working in batches, dip the rolls into the custard mixture and let soak for 30 seconds, turning to coat all sides. Don't soak longer or they'll get soggy.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
- Cook the soaked rolls for 30-60 seconds per side until golden brown, turning carefully with a spatula to get all sides crispy.
- Serve the hawaiian roll french toast warm, dusted with powdered sugar and topped with fresh berries and maple syrup if desired.
