Description

Rosettes are festive Swedish cookies made with a simple batter fried in a lacy pattern with a rosette iron until crispy, then dusted with powdered sugar.

Ingredients

2 large eggs
1 tablespoon white sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
vegetable oil for frying
confectioners' sugar for dusting

Directions

1 Gather all ingredients.
2 Beat eggs, sugar, and salt together in a large bowl. Add flour, milk, and vanilla extract; beat until smooth.
3 Heat about 2 inches of oil in a large, deep skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place a wire rack over paper towels.
4 Heat the rosette iron in hot oil for 2 minutes. Lift the iron and let excess oil drain. Dip the iron in batter to 1/4 inch from the top of the iron, then dip the iron immediately into hot oil.
5 Fry rosette in hot oil until crisp and lightly golden, about 30 seconds.
6 Lift the iron out; tip upside down to drain. Use a fork to push rosette off the iron onto the prepared wire rack.
7 Reheat the iron in hot oil for 1 minute; cook remaining batter. Sprinkle rosettes with confectioners' sugar.
8 Enjoy!
