# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The way the powdered sugar meets the salty ham creates that magic sweet and savory moment that hits every craving
  • They come together in under 30 minutes but taste like you spent way more effort on them
02 -
  • The bread needs to be completely flattened or it will crack when you try to roll it around the fillings
  • Let the skillet heat up properly before adding the roll ups so they get that golden crust instead of absorbing the butter
03 -
  • Work quickly when dipping so the bread does not get soggy
  • Keep the seam side down during the first minute of cooking to prevent them from unrolling
