Ingredients
King’s Hawaiian sweet rolls

Vanilla extract
Cinnamon
Brown sugar
Salt
Nutmeg (optional)
Butter (for cooking)
Powdered sugar (for topping)
Maple syrup (for serving)
Fresh berries (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Gather all ingredients: King’s Hawaiian sweet rolls, eggs, half and half, vanilla extract, cinnamon, brown sugar, salt, and optional nutmeg.
2. Cut the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally to ensure even coating.
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, half and half, vanilla extract, cinnamon, brown sugar, salt, and nutmeg if using.
4. Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and melt butter to prevent sticking.
5. Quickly dip each roll half into the custard mixture, ensuring a light coating without soaking.
6. Place the dipped rolls onto the skillet or griddle and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
7. Cook in batches if necessary to ensure even browning while keeping cooked rolls warm in a low-temperature oven.
8. Transfer cooked rolls to a plate and top with powdered sugar, maple syrup, and fresh berries as desired.
9. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor, enjoying the sweet and fluffy interior with a slight crisp on the outside.
10. For meal prep, allow leftovers to cool, then freeze for quick breakfasts by reheating in a toaster or oven.
Notes
Cut the rolls in half horizontally to help them absorb just the right amount of custard without getting too soggy.
Dip the rolls quickly in the custard mixture instead of soaking them to maintain their fluffy texture and prevent them from falling apart.
Cook in batches over medium-low heat with melted butter, allowing each side to turn golden brown for a crispy exterior and soft, sweet center.
