Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a wide bowl, whisk together 4 eggs, 1 cup of milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, a pinch of salt, and a dash of nutmeg until creamy and fully combined.
  2. Place a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and warm for about 5 minutes. Brush with 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter.
  3. Carefully slice 6 Hawaiian rolls in half. Dip the roll halves into the egg mixture for about 10-15 seconds, then shake off excess custard.
  4. Place the soaked Hawaiian roll halves, cut side down, onto the hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, until golden brown.
  5. Gently flip the rolls and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes, until golden brown.
  6. Transfer them to a plate and cover lightly with foil to keep warm. Repeat with remaining roll halves.
  7. Serve warm on plates, dusted with powdered sugar and drizzled with maple syrup.
