Directions
In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and optional salt. We really want this to be a smooth, spreadable mixture. Set aside.
In another bowl, crack the eggs, add milk, cinnamon, vanilla, and whisk together. Set aside.
In one final wide bowl, or a plate, add the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
Cut the crust off the bread slices.
Working one by one, using a rolling pin, flatten each piece of bread until it’s thin and smooth.
Divide the filling to all 8 pieces of bread, spreading a nice even layer. If you have leftover filling, pop into the fridge for toast!
Once you have the bread topped with the cinnamon butter spread, tightly roll each one up and place seam side down. Wipe off any excess cinnamon butter if it’s really popping out.
Frying
In a frying pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
While it’s heating up, start the dipping process.
Each ‘roll-up’ gets a dip for a couple of seconds, then place seam side down in the frying pan.
Each roll will take around 5 minutes to fry, moving to all the sides. Typically this takes a few turns, usually get about 3 to 4 turns until everything is golden and the kitchen smells amazing.
The outside of your roll ups/stix will be golden, the inside will be almost jammy with the cinnamon butter.
Take out with tongs and lightly toss in cinnamon sugar.
