French Toast Rolls

French Toast Rolls

8 slices fresh white bread
45ml + 45ml butter
80ml brown sugar
5ml + 5ml ground cinnamon
2 eggs
60ml milk
60ml granulated sugar

Trim the crusts from each slice of bread and then roll each flat with a rolling pin.
Add 45ml butter to a heatproof bowl and melt/soften it in the microwave oven.
Add the brown sugar and 5ml cinnamon and mix together. You are looking for a spreadable consistency.
Spread each slice of bread with a thin layer of the sugar mixture.
Roll the slices up in a tight roll.
Add the eggs and milk with a pinch of salt to a shallow bowl and whisk together.
Add the granulated sugar and other 5ml cinnamon to another shallow bowl and mix through.
Place a non-stick pan on medium heat and add the remaining 45ml butter.
Now dip one of the bread rolls in the egg mixture and place in the warm pan.
Repeat with the rest.
Fry until golden, turn until browned all over.
Remove the rolls from the pan and roll each in the cinnamon sugar while warm.
Serve with a good cup of coffee.
