1 package Hawaiian rolls
4 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons butter
Maple syrup, for serving
Powdered sugar, for dusting

Directions
- Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, creating two pieces for each roll, and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar until well combined.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface evenly.
