Ingredients

• 1 pack of King's Hawaiian Rolls (12 rolls)

• 3 large eggs

• ½ cup milk

Directions

1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon (if using) until smooth and well combined.

2. Slice each Hawaiian roll in half, or leave whole if you prefer extra fluffiness inside.

3. Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil to coat the surface.

4. Dip each roll into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully soaked but not too soggy.

5. Place the dipped rolls onto the heated skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside.

6. Remove from the pan and serve warm with your choice of toppings like syrup, berries, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
