Step by Step Method
Step 1
Flatten the slices slightly with a rolling pin. In the center of each bread slice, spread about 2 teaspoons or more of the Nutella or spread of your choice
Step 2
Roll the bread and the mixture like a cigar or a rolled taco; set aside until you finish all of the slices.
Step 3
In a shallow bowl mix the egg and the cup of milk, whisk until well combined. In another shallow bowl, mix the sugar with the cinnamon
Step 4
Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Step 5
Soak the bread rolls in the milk mixture until fully coated. Add them to the hot pan, which should have the butter already melted, cook the rolls until they’re golden brown and look fully cooked. Roll the fingers in the sugar and cinnamon mixture. Eat and enjoy!
