Equipment
- 1 rolling pin
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 shallow dish
- 1 skillet or griddle
- 1 spatula
Ingredients
- 8 slices bread White or whole wheat.
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup butter For cooking.
- optional cream cheese or icing For drizzling.
Instructions
- Flatten each slice of bread with a rolling pin to make them easier to roll up.
- In a shallow dish, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
- Spread each slice of bread with a thin layer of your favorite spread and roll them tightly.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
- Dip each rolled bread in the egg mixture, ensuring they are well-coated, then roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Place the roll-ups seam side down in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
- Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess butter. Repeat the process with the remaining rolls.
- Serve warm, drizzled with cream cheese icing or syrup if desired.
Notes
Feel free to add fillings such as Nutella or fruit preserves before rolling for an extra twist.
For a healthier version, use whole-grain bread and reduce the amount of sugar.
Try sprinkling chopped nuts or raisins into the cinnamon-sugar mixture for added texture. Enjoy!
