Ingredients
Scale
- 10–12 slices of bread (white or brioche)
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for coating)
- Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for cooking), plus more if needed
Instructions
- Combine the softened butter, brown sugar, and 3 teaspoons of cinnamon in a small bowl. Beat until smooth and creamy.
- Mix the granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon in another small bowl. Set aside for coating later.
- Whisk together the eggs and milk in a shallow bowl for the dipping mixture. Set aside.
- Trim the crusts from the bread slices. Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice to about 1/8 inch thickness.
- Spread a generous layer of the cinnamon butter mixture evenly over each flattened slice of bread.
- Roll up each slice tightly, starting from one end and finishing at the other. Secure the seam with a small dab of cinnamon butter if needed.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat, and melt about 1 tablespoon of butter in the pan.
- Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, ensuring all sides get coated. Allow excess to drip off.
- Place the roll-ups seam-side down in the hot pan, cooking in batches to avoid overcrowding. Add more butter as necessary.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Turn gently for even browning.
- Remove the cooked roll-ups from the pan and roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, coating thoroughly.
- Dust with powdered sugar if desired, and serve warm with maple syrup.
Notes
Add chocolate chips or fruit for a fun twist. Ensure tight rolling to prevent bursting during cooking.
