French Toast Roll Ups - What a Great Idea. Kids Love these

When I saw this recipe, I know I had to make it. Kids love French Toast and Churros
This is, you may say... a "poor man's" Churro.
I made this for dessert, if you wanted to make them for breakfast, maybe just drizzle over some Maple syrup
So you tust turn your Nutella filled French Toast into cigar shapes,  and dip in egg and milk.
Shallow fry in butter
Dust with sugar,  flavoured with cinnamon and orange zest
Dip into a warm velvety chocolate sauce and
Voila Heaven
Mine is right!
I grabbed this recipe off a friends Face book page and she got it from the Cinnamon, Spice and All 
Webpage. I have made a couple of changes
Reeni the host, suggested that you could use other spreads, but our kids adore Nutella
I thought it could be nice, filled with grated cheese, like the Southland Cheese Rolls
When they were cooked you could shake them around in finely grated Parmesan perhaps
Maybe a few herbs?
I will try that
Once again, this is the time when only the plastic white bread, will do
2 per person and sometimes you could almost eat more


10 slices white sandwich bread
2 eggs
3 tablespoons milk
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 heaping teaspoon ground cinnamon
Zest of a medium Orange
Butter, for frying

INSTRUCTIONS:
Trim the crust from the bread and flatten it out with a rolling pin.
Spread the Nutella over the bottom 3/4 of the bread


Roll the bread up and repeat until they're all filled.

In a shallow bowl whisk the eggs and milk until well combined.
In a separate bowl mix the sugar with the cinnamon and orange zest
In a skillet set over medium heat melt a tablespoon of butter.
Add the rolls to the egg turning to coat on all sides then place them in the pan seam side down.
Cook in batches until golden brown, turning them to cook and brown on all sides.
Add butter to the pan as needed.
Add the hot rolls from the pan to the orange and cinnamon sugar and roll until completely covered in sugar.
Meamwhile whip up this very simple sauce to dip them in

100 gms choc chips
50 mls cream
50 mls milk
1/1/2 tbs golden syrup

Place everything in a small pot
Heat gently till melted
I think everyone needs their own little bowl of sauce
SO
Dip your French toast into the yummy warm Chocolate

Yum

By the way not just for kids. We loved them too
