Scale
10-12 slices white sandwich bread
1/2 stick (4 tbsp) butter, softened
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
3 tsp ground cinnamon
2 large eggs
3 tbsp whole milk
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon (for coating)
2 tbsp butter (for the pan)
Powdered sugar and maple syrup for serving
Instructions
- Mix butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until smooth.
- Combine sugar and cinnamon in another bowl.
- Beat eggs with milk in a shallow bowl.

- Spread cinnamon filling and roll tightly.
- Dip in egg mixture and cook in butter.

Notes
Use the freshest bread possible to prevent cracking during the rolling process.
Do not soak the rolls in the egg wash; a quick dip is all you need to keep them from getting soggy.
For an extra treat, add a tablespoon of cream cheese to the filling!
