Ingredients
For the Roll-Ups
-
10 slices white sandwich bread
-
2 tablespoons melted butter
-
¼ cup granulated sugar
-
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the Egg Mixture
-
2 large eggs
-
¼ cup milk
-
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
For Cooking & Topping
-
Butter or oil for frying
-
Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Bread
Trim the crusts off the bread slices. Using a rolling pin, gently flatten each slice to make it easier to roll.
2. Make the Cinnamon Filling
In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Brush each slice of bread lightly with melted butter, then sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
3. Roll the Bread
Starting from one end, tightly roll each slice of bread into a log shape. Set aside.
4. Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
5. Dip the Roll-Ups
Dip each bread roll-up into the egg mixture, coating all sides evenly but not soaking too long.
6. Cook
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil. Place the roll-ups seam-side down in the pan. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, turning gently, until golden brown on all sides.
7. Serve
Remove from the pan and place on a plate. Dust lightly with powdered sugar before serving.
Tips for Best Results
-
Roll the bread tightly to prevent filling from leaking.
-
Use medium heat to avoid burning while ensuring the center warms through.
