Instructions

  1. Remove the crusts from the bread and flatten each slice with a rolling pin.
  2. In a bowl, whisk the milk with 50 g of sugar, the cinnamon and the vanilla.
  3. Quickly dip each slice into the sweetened milk, taking care not to let it fall apart.
  4. Roll each slice up on itself and secure it with a toothpick if needed.
  5. In a skillet with the butter and oil, fry the rolls over medium heat for 3 minutes, turning them as you go.
  6. While they cook, mix the beaten eggs with the remaining sugar and dip the rolls in this mixture.
  7. Remove the toothpicks and dust with powdered sugar and cinnamon before serving slightly warm.

Variations and tips

Raisin version. Add raisins soaked in the milk before rolling the slices.
