Instructions
-
In small bowl, combine butter, sugar and cinnamon. Beat until smooth.

In a another bowl combine granulated sugar with cinnamon and set aside. In a shallow bowl beat eggs with milk and set aside.

Gently but tightly roll up the bread around the cinnamon filling. Continue with the remaining bread.

When browned, turn a quarter turn and continue until all sides are cooked and browned nicely.

Notes
NOTES
– I’ve found that using the freshest bread gets you the prettiest roll-ups.
– If you don’t have a rolling pin, use a jar or glass.
