Ingredients
Scale
French Toast Custard
- 1 pack King’s Hawaiian Rolls (fresh and soft)
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup half and half (or whole milk)
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 pinch salt
For Cooking
- 4 tbsp butter
For Serving
- Powdered sugar
- Fresh fruit (such as berries)
- Maple syrup
Instructions
- Prepare the Custard: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and half and half until fully combined. Stir in vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt to create a flavorful custard mixture.
- Prepare the Rolls: Using a toothpick, poke several holes in the bottom of each Hawaiian roll to help the custard soak in more effectively.
- Soak the Rolls: Dip each roll into the custard mixture for about 30 seconds, turning gently to ensure even absorption without falling apart.
- Heat the Skillet: Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, ensuring the butter doesn’t brown too quickly for an even cook.
- Cook the Rolls: Place the soaked rolls in the skillet and cook them for about 30-60 seconds on each side or until they turn a beautiful golden brown and develop a slight crust.
- Finish and Serve: Serve the golden Hawaiian roll French toast warm. Dust with powdered sugar and top with fresh berries and a drizzle of maple syrup for a perfect sweet finish.
Notes
- Make sure to soak the rolls thoroughly but gently to avoid them falling apart in the custard.
- Use fresh and soft King’s Hawaiian Rolls for the best texture and flavor.
- Adjust cinnamon and sugar quantities based on your preferred sweetness and spice level.
- Cook on medium-low heat to ensure the inside is warmed through without burning the outside.
- Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
