Start by cracking 4 large eggs into a mixing bowl. Whisk them together with 1 cup of milk, 1/2 cup of heavy cream, 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons of sugar until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.

While the custard mixture rests, take 8 Hawaiian rolls and carefully slice them in half horizontally.

Place a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter, allowing it to melt and become bubbly.

Take each halved Hawaiian roll and dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring that both sides are coated but not overly saturated.

Carefully place the dipped rolls onto the hot skillet, spaced apart to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn a lovely golden brown.

Once your Hawaiian Roll French Toast is cooked through, transfer them to a serving platter. Dust the warm toast with powdered sugar and drizzle with maple syrup if desired.
