  2. Slice each King’s Hawaiian roll in half and poke holes in the cut sides. Dip each half in the egg mixture for about 30 seconds on each side.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until melted. Place soaked rolls cut side down in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Gently flip each roll and cook for another 3-4 minutes until crispy. Remove from skillet and keep warm.
  5. If cooking more, add more butter and repeat the soaking and cooking process, ensuring each piece cooks evenly.
  6. Serve while warm topped with fresh berries, powdered sugar, and maple syrup.
