Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 12 Hawaiian sweet rolls
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Sweeteners and Spices:
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 pinch of salt
Cooking and Serving Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Maple syrup
- Powdered sugar
- Fresh fruits
Instructions
- Create a silky custard by whisking eggs, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until smooth and fully integrated.
- Warm a spacious skillet over medium heat, melting butter to create a golden cooking surface.
- Gently immerse each Hawaiian roll into the luxurious custard mixture, ensuring thorough but brief coating (roughly 5-10 seconds), allowing excess liquid to drip away.
- Carefully arrange the custard-drenched rolls onto the heated skillet, cooking until each side transforms into a rich, caramelized golden-brown hue (approximately 2-3 minutes per side).
- Cook rolls in manageable batches, replenishing butter as necessary to prevent sticking and maintain an even cooking surface.
- Strategically transfer cooked rolls to a warming plate, preserving their temperature and texture.
- Present immediately, accompanied by classic embellishments like maple syrup, a delicate dusting of powdered sugar, vibrant fresh fruits, or personalized toppings that complement the dish’s sweet profile.
Notes
- Soak rolls briefly to prevent soggy texture, ensuring they absorb custard without falling apart.
- Use room temperature ingredients for smoother, more evenly blended custard mixture.
- Experiment with alternative milk options like almond or oat milk for dairy-free version.
- Enhance flavor by adding orange zest or replacing vanilla with almond extract for unique twist.
