Equipment
Frying Pan
Rosette Iron
Ingredients
Vegetable or Canola OilEnough to make a layer on the bottom of the pan
2Eggs
1/4tspSalt
1tspSugar
1 CupMilk
1CupFlour
Instructions
In a saucepan pour 2 1/2 – 3 inches of oil and heat it up. You will want your oil to be around 350-370 degrees Fahrenheit (170 -190 Celsius). You don’t want the oil to be too hot.
Beat the eggs, sugar, and salt. Add milk and flour. Beat until smooth. Set batter aside.
Once your oil reaches the correct temperature you will then want to start to heat the iron. This is very important. Stick the iron in the oil and let it warm up for a few seconds. If the iron is not hot enough the batter will not stick to it and clumps up.
Dip the iron into the batter (be careful not to let the batter go over the top of the iron or you will have trouble getting the rosette off of the iron). Once the batter is stuck to the iron then you will move it to the frying oil. This step only takes about 3 seconds. You want the rosette to be lightly browned.
We use a butter knife to get the cookie off the iron and push it down with the iron to get it nice and brown. Sometimes we flip the cookie over to make it evenly brown.
Use tongs to remove the rosette from the frying oil and set it on a paper towel or paper to cool.
Once the rosettes are cool, you will then sprinkle them with powdered sugar.
Time to eat them and share with friends! These are best eaten on the day they were made. You can store them in a dry, slightly sealed container. My grandmother used to store them in clothing boxes. If you seal them too tight, they will go soggy.
Notes
It may take a few rosettes to get the hang of it. Heat is usually the issue.A quick tip: It is better for the oil to be a little hotter and then burn a few rosettes rather than have the oil be too cool. Do not bring the oil to a full boil.Please be safe and enjoy these beautiful cookies!
