Rosettes are a Scandinavian pastry that I was raised with. I remember back in the days when you could bring homemade treats to school on your birthday, my mother made enough rosettes for my entire second grade class. Yes, she was quite the domestic artist. You can find the
recipe either included with your rosette iron or online. It is a simple recipe that is very similar to crepe batter.
The key is to keep your oil at 375 degrees F and to get your rosette iron hot before dipping it into the batter. They cook in a matter of seconds and the whole matter is rather simple.
 |
| Dip the hot iron into the batter being sure to not let the batter cover the top side of the iron. |
 |
| Dip the battered iron into hot oil (375 degrees F) |
 |
| Keep submerged in the oil for 10 seconds or so until bubbling starts to subside and the rosette is nicely bowned. |
 |
| Using a fork, gently remove the rosette from the iron and let drain on paper towel. |
 |
| When cooled, sprinkle with powdered sugar. |
Just make sure to lean over a napkin as these light, crispy delights shatter easily. I'm thinking that they would be the perfect treat for a party featuring the movie Frozen. The rosette irons come in a variety of shapes and sizes. I actually have one in the shape of a spider - luckily the tastiness overcomes the creepy idea of eating a crispy spider shape. Rosette irons are found at kitchen stores, online and often at many second-hand stores as well. Hope you enjoy this exotic and easy treat.
