# Instructions:
01 -
In a medium bowl, whisk together half and half, eggs, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until completely smooth and homogeneous.
02 -
Heat a large pan over medium-low heat. Add a small amount of butter, being careful not to overheat the pan which would cause the butter to burn.
03 -
Quickly dip each Hawaiian Roll in the custard mixture, coating all sides.
04 -
Place the dipped rolls in the heated pan without crowding. Cook for about 2 minutes, then flip and continue cooking until all sides are golden brown and crispy.
05 -
Remove cooked rolls from the pan and repeat the process with remaining rolls, adding more butter to the pan as needed.
06 -
Arrange the French toast cubes on plates, dust with powdered sugar, and drizzle with maple syrup. If desired, serve with fresh berries and whipped cream.
# Notes:
01 -
The soft, slightly sweet Hawaiian rolls create a uniquely flavorful French toast with a tender interior and crispy exterior.
02 -
For a richer flavor, let the rolls soak in the custard mixture for 10-15 seconds per side.
