Instructions

Prepare the egg mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until fully combined to create a smooth custard batter.
Heat the skillet: Butter the bottom of a large skillet and place it over medium heat until the butter melts and the pan is hot but not smoking.
Dip the rolls: Take each Hawaiian roll and dunk both sides thoroughly into the egg mixture, ensuring the rolls are well-coated but not soggy.
Cook the rolls: Place four dipped rolls at a time into the heated skillet. Cook each side for about 30 seconds, flipping carefully to ensure each side is golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat cooking: Continue dipping and cooking the remaining Hawaiian rolls in batches until all are cooked.
Serve: Arrange the cooked French toast rolls on a serving platter, sprinkle generously with powdered sugar, and serve alongside fresh berries and syrup for dipping.

Notes

Use fresh eggs and quality milk for best flavor and texture.
Adjust cinnamon and sugar levels to your preference for sweetness and spice.
Ensure the skillet is properly buttered and medium heat is maintained to avoid burning.
Serve immediately for best taste and texture; leftover rolls can be reheated gently.
Feel free to customize toppings with whipped cream, nuts, or different fruits.
