Equipment (affiliate links)

  • Toothpick or skewer
  • Large bowl
  • Whisk
  • Non-stick skillet

Ingredients

  • 1 pack Kings sweet Hawaiian Rolls (12 pack)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 0.75 cup half and half (or whole milk if that's all you have)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 small pinch salt
  • 4 tablespoons butter (salted or unsalted is fine)
  • Powdered sugar, fresh fruit, and syrup for topping

Instructions

  • Crack your eggs into a large bowl, then add the half and half. Whisk until they full combined and you no longer see bits of egg whites.
  • Add in the vanilla, cinnamon, sugar, and salt and whisk again.
  • Take a toothpick or skewer and poke a few holes in the bottom of each roll so the egg mixture can soak in a bit better.
  • Drop a few rolls at a time in the egg mixture and allow to soak for about 30 seconds. (not much longer or they will be too mushy)
  • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. (If your heat is too high, the outside of the rolls will burn before the inside can cook.)
  • Add about 2 tablespoons of butter to the pan and allow to melt. You can add more butter for each batch of rolls (I like to cook only 4 rolls at a time since it's a lot of turning)
  • Add the soaked rolls to the pan and turn the rolls after about 30 seconds per side or when each side is golden brown. (You should cook each of the 4 sides plus the top and bottom.)
  • Once all the rolls are cooked, you can serve them immediately.
  • (I like to sprinkle some powdered sugar on top and serve with berries and maple syrup. Bacon is also a great side dish for these sweet rolls!)
