Ingredients
  

For the Roll-Ups
  • 8 slices White Sandwich Bread Fresh, soft bread ensures easy rolling without tearing.
  • 4 tbsp Butter (melted) Adds richness and helps the filling adhere perfectly.
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar This sweetener provides a lovely caramel flavor when cooked.
  • 2 tbsp Ground Cinnamon The star spice that gives these roll-ups their signature flavor.
For the Egg Mixture
  • 3 large Eggs Essential for the French toast coating.
  • 1 cup Milk Adds moisture; can substitute with non-dairy milk.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract Enhances the roll-ups’ overall flavor profile.
For Cooking
  • 2 tbsp Butter for Frying Promotes an even golden-brown color while cooking.

Equipment

  • non-stick skillet
  • Rolling Pin
  • shallow bowl

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by removing the crusts from each slice of white sandwich bread to ensure they're easy to roll. Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice into thin rectangles, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, combine melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon to form a sweet paste. Spread the mixture evenly across each flattened slice of bread.
  3. Starting from one end, tightly roll each slice of bread filled with the cinnamon mixture. Press the edges gently to seal the rolls.
  4. In a shallow bowl, whisk together large eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and an additional pinch of cinnamon.
  5. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a generous pat of butter for frying.
  6. Carefully dip each cinnamon roll into the egg mixture, ensuring they are well-coated but not overly soaked. Place each roll seam-side down in the hot skillet.
  7. Once cooked to a beautiful golden brown, remove the rolls from the skillet and place them on a serving platter. Serve warm.
