Ingredients
  

For the Roll-Ups
  • 8 slices White Sandwich Bread Fresh bread yields the best results.
  • 3 tablespoons Butter Melted; margarine is a good dairy-free alternative.
  • 3 tablespoons Brown Sugar Substitute with coconut sugar for a healthier twist.
  • 2 tablespoons Ground Cinnamon For filling; ½ teaspoon for coating.
  • 3 large Eggs Consider flax eggs for a vegan option.
  • 1 tablespoon Milk Try almond or oat milk for lactose-free.
  • ½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract Vanilla essence can serve as a substitute.
  • 2-3 tablespoons Butter for Frying Olive oil is a healthier option.

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Rolling Pin
  • Shallow Bowl

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by removing the crusts from your white sandwich bread slices, ensuring a soft consistency for the roll-ups. Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice gently until about ¼ inch thick, making them pliable for rolling.
  2. In a small bowl, blend together the melted butter, brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon. Spread an even layer of this cinnamon filling across each flattened bread slice.
  3. Carefully roll each slice of bread tightly from one end to the other, sealing the edges by gently pressing them together with your fingers.
  4. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the large eggs, milk, ½ teaspoon of cinnamon, and vanilla extract until fully combined and frothy.
  5. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2-3 tablespoons of butter. Dip each roll-up in the egg mixture and place seam-side down in the hot skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  6. Once the roll-ups are beautifully golden and cooked through, remove them from the skillet and serve warm dusted with powdered sugar or drizzled with maple syrup.
