Main Ingredients
  • 12 slices soft white sandwich bread
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened divided into portions
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  3. Trim the crusts from the bread.
  4. Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice until thin.
  5. Spread each flattened slice with a thin layer of softened butter.
Rolling and Coating
  1. Starting from one end, roll each slice tightly into a small cylinder.
  2. In a shallow bowl, stir together the sugar and cinnamon.
  3. Melt the remaining butter.
  4. Lightly brush or roll each bread cylinder in the melted butter, then coat it generously in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  5. Arrange the rolls in the prepared baking dish, leaving a little space between them.
Baking
  1. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the Sugar Snails are golden brown and lightly crisp around the edges.
  2. Let them cool for about 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Sugar Snails are best enjoyed warm. They can be served with a dusting of powdered sugar on top. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for a couple of days, or refrigerate for longer storage. Ensure the bread is fresh and soft for the best texture. Consider adding vanilla extract for extra flavor or chocolate chips for a twist.
