Ingredients
Scale
- 10–12 slices of bread
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tbsps (45 ml) milk
- ½ stick (4 oz / 113 g) softened butter
- ¼ cup (50 g) light brown sugar
- 2 tbsps (25 g) granulated sugar
- 3 tsp (4.5 g) cinnamon
- 1 tsp (2 g) cinnamon (or to taste)
- 2 tbsps (28 g) butter for cooking (more if necessary)
- Powdered sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Filling Preparation: Whisk softened butter, light brown sugar, and ground cinnamon into a smooth, homogeneous mixture.
- Seasoning Setup: Create two distinct mixtures – one combining granulated sugar with cinnamon, another blending whisked eggs and milk.
- Bread Preparation: Remove crusts and flatten bread slices using a rolling pin until uniformly thin and pliable.
- Assembling Rolls: Generously spread cinnamon filling across each bread slice, ensuring complete coverage, then tightly roll into compact cylinders with sealed edges.
- Cooking Process: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium temperature, melt butter to create a golden surface. Thoroughly coat each rolled bread in egg-milk mixture, then place seam-side down in skillet.
- Browning Technique: Cook rolls in small batches, rotating periodically to achieve an even, rich golden-brown caramelization on all sides.
- Final Touches: Immediately transfer hot rolls to reserved cinnamon-sugar mixture, thoroughly coating each piece. Serve warm with maple syrup for optional dipping, creating a luxurious breakfast indulgence.
Notes
- Butter Consistency Matters: Ensure butter is softened at room temperature for a smooth, lump-free cinnamon filling that spreads effortlessly.
- Bread Preparation Technique: Use fresh, soft white bread and remove crusts for a delicate, uniform texture that rolls perfectly without cracking.
- Coating Control: Lightly dip rolls in egg mixture, avoiding over-soaking to prevent soggy texture and maintain crisp exterior when frying.
- Temperature Management: Cook on medium heat and work in small batches to achieve even, golden-brown caramelization without burning the delicate rolls.
