Ingredients

  • 10-12 to toast bread slices
  • 1/2 stick butter softened
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 3 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon or up to taste
  • powdered sugar optional
  • 2 tbsp butter for cooking more if necessary

Instructions

  • In small bowl, combine butter, sugar and cinnamon. Beat until smooth.
  • In a another bowl combine granulated sugar with cinnamon and set aside. In a shallow bowl beat eggs with milk and set aside.
  • Remove the bread crust, and flatten the slices with a rolling pin to 1/8 inch thickness. Spread a thick layer of the cinnamon filling on each slice of the bread.
  • Gently but tightly roll up the bread around the cinnamon filling. Continue with the remaining bread.
  • Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and melt about 1 tbsp of butter. Coat the rolls in the egg mixture and place seam side down. Cook 3-4 roll at a time.
  • When browned, turn a quarter turn and continue until all sides are cooked and browned nicely.
  • Roll into the sugar cinnamon mixture or dust with powdered sugar. Serve warm and dip in maple syrup if desired.

Notes

NOTES
- I’ve found that using the freshest bread gets you the prettiest roll-ups.
- If you don’t have a rolling pin, use a jar or glass.
