Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by removing the crusts from each slice of white sandwich bread. Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice to about ¼ inch thick.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Stir until the mixture becomes a smooth paste.
  3. Spread the sweet cinnamon filling evenly across each flattened bread slice, leaving a small margin around the edges for sealing.
  4. Carefully roll each slice of bread tightly from one end to the other, sealing the edges.
  5. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and an additional sprinkle of cinnamon until fully combined.
  6. Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 2 to 3 tablespoons of butter. Allow the butter to melt completely.
  7. Dip each roll into the egg mixture, ensuring all sides are well-coated but not oversaturated.
  8. Fry the roll-ups for 2 to 3 minutes, rotating them regularly to ensure even browning.
  9. Once cooked, transfer your roll-ups to a serving plate. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with maple syrup.
