Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 slices sandwich bread with crusts removed
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter for frying
  • Powdered sugar for topping
  • Maple syrup for topping
  • Whipped cream for topping

Equipment

  • Rolling Pin
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Skillet or Non-Stick Pan
  • Spatula
  • Measuring Spoons and Cups

Method
 

  1. Flatten each slice of bread into a thin sheet using a rolling pin.
  2. Mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl.
  3. Spread softened butter onto one side of each flattened bread slice and sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar.
  4. Roll each slice up tightly and place them aside with the seam side facing down.
  5. Whisk the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract together in a shallow bowl.
  6. Melt the frying butter in a skillet over medium heat.
  7. Dip each roll-up quickly into the egg mixture to coat all sides without over-soaking.
  8. Place the roll-ups into the skillet seam-side down and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden.
  9. Serve the roll-ups warm with powdered sugar, maple syrup, or whipped cream.

Notes

Using day-old or slightly stale bread helps the roll-ups hold their structure without getting soggy.
Keep the skillet on medium heat to prevent the butter or the bread from burning while cooking.
You can roll these the night before and refrigerate them before dipping and frying in the morning.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
