You could argue that there is nothing better than a warm cinnamon roll, but the Laurel Diner in Southbury, Connecticut, takes the cinnamon roll to the max by turning it into french toast. Now you can make this eye-rolling, decadent delight at home.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter .25 stick, 1 ounce
- 1 egg
- 0.25 cup milk
- hint vanilla extract
- 1 large cinnamon roll cut in half lengthwise
- strawberries fresh—raspberries and bananas are good substitutes
- Whipped cream
Servings:
Instructions
- Heat a skillet or griddle to medium-high heat, then add the butter and melt.
- To make the French toast batter, whisk the egg, milk and vanilla together in a shallow bowl until well blended. Take the two split pieces of cinnamon roll and dip the interior sides of the roll into the batter.
- Place the interior sides of the roll onto the heated, buttered skillet or griddle. Cook until golden brown, then flip over onto the sugary, glazed sides until crisp. Remove from the heat and top with fresh fruit and whipped cream.
