Rosette Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Have ready: a jelly roll pan lined with several layers of paper toweling; powdered sugar in a shaker or sieve.
• Whisk eggs, milk, sugar and salt together. Sprinkle in flour a little at a time. Beat until smooth. Let batter sit for 30 minutes.
• Heat 3 - 4" of oil in a small, deep pan to 365°F.
• Stir batter.
• Heat rosette iron by submerging in hot oil for 10 seconds.
• Lift out, shake off excess oil and dip immediately into batter just so the top edge of the iron is even with the surface of the batter. If you dip it too far, the rosette won't come off the iron.
• Plunge the coated iron into the hot oil. Don't let the iron touch the sides or bottom of the pan.
• As soon as the batter puffs, gently pull the iron out. The rosette should slip back into the oil.
• When lightly browned, carefully lift out with a fork or slotted spoon and place on paper toweling to drain.
• Reheat iron and proceed with remaining batter. You'll have to work very quickly. The frying only takes a few seconds.
• Don't be tempted to fry more than two at a time. It will cool the oil too much and you'll get flabby, greasy rosettes. The oil should not go below 355°F.
• After you've fried a few, dust them with powdered sugar.

Steps:

• Combine eggs, sugar and salt; beat well. Add remaining ingredients and beat until smooth.
• Heat a rosette iron in deep, hot oil (375 degrees) for 2 minutes.
• Drain excess oil from iron. Dip in batter to 1/4 inch from the top of the iron, then dip iron immediately into hot oil (375 degrees).
• Fry rosette until golden, about 30 seconds. Lift out; tip upside down to drain. With fork, push rosette off iron onto a rack placed over paper towels.
• Reheat iron 1 minute; make next rosette.
• Sprinkle rosettes with confectioners' sugar.

Steps:

• Make the rosette iron hot by dipping it in hot oil.
• Dip iron in batter.
• Dip iron in hot oil again and in about 30 seconds, gently pry batter off the iron with a fork until it falls away from the iron into the hot oil.
• Fry until light golden brown.
• Remove from oil and drain on paper towel.
• When cool sprinkle with icing sugar.

Steps:

• Beat the eggs and the egg yolks together.
• Beat in the sugar, butter and salt.
• add enough flour to make medium soft dough that is easy to handle.
• Knead lightly in the bowl to incorporate the flour.
• Cover and let the dough stand for 10 minutes.
• Roll very thin, about 1/8 inch or thinner, using a small amount of dough at a time.
• Cut into circles with small cooky cutters of two different sizes, about 1 1/2 and 1 inch in diameter.
• Place 2 circles of the same size one over the other, and top them with a smaller circle.
• Press the centers together tightly with the blunt button point of a knitting needle, or with a finger tip.
• The knitting needle is preferred as the finger tip leaves a large depression, making the fried rosettes hard in the center.
• Make 5 even slits on the outer edge of the circles to form petals.
• These petals will curl up in frying, giving a rosette shape.
• Fry, a few at a time, in deep fat (375 degrees F) until delicately browned.
• Drain on absorbent paper.
• sprinkle with the confectioners' sugar.
• Just before serving, place the candied cherry, cut in half, or a dab of red jelly, in the hollow of each rosette.

Steps:

• In deep medium bowl, beat granulated sugar, the salt and eggs with electric mixer on medium speed. Beat in 2 tablespoons oil, the water and flour until smooth. In 3-quart saucepan, heat oil (2 to 3 inches) to 400°F.
• Heat rosette iron by placing in hot oil 1 minute. Tap excess oil from iron on paper towels. Dip hot iron into batter just to top edge (don't go over top). Fry about 30 seconds or until golden brown. Immediately remove rosette; invert onto paper towels to cool. (If rosette is not crisp, batter is too thick; stir in a small amount of water or milk.)
• Heat iron in hot oil and tap on paper towels before making each rosette. (If iron is not hot enough, batter will not stick.) Sprinkle with powdered sugar just before serving or drizzle with chocolate glaze.
• To make chocolate glaze, in 2-cup microwavable measuring cup, place chocolate chips, butter and corn syrup. Microwave uncovered on Medium 1 to 2 minutes or until chocolate can be stirred smooth. Drizzle glaze over rosettes.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, beat eggs and sugar; stir in milk and vanilla. Combine flour and salt; gradually add to batter until smooth., Heat 2-1/2 in. of oil to 375° in a deep-fat fryer or electric skillet. Place rosette iron in hot oil, then dip in batter, three-fourths up the sides of iron (do not let batter run over top of iron). Immediately place in hot oil; loosen rosette with fork and remove iron. , Fry rosettes, a few at a time, until golden brown, 1-2 minutes on each side. Remove to paper towel-lined wire racks. Repeat with remaining batter. , For icing, combine the confectioners' sugar, vanilla and enough water to achieve a dipping consistency. Dip edges of rosettes into icing; let dry on wire racks.

Steps:

• Add sugar to slightly beaten eggs, then add milk.
• Sift flour before measuring, then together with salt.
• Stir into first mixture until batter is smooth and about the consistency of heavy cream.
• Add flavoring.
• Heat fat or oil to 370°F in a deep kettle.
• If you do not have a thermometer, put a small piece of bread into fat and count to sixty.
• Bread should brown.
• Dip your iron into hot fat to heat it and drain excess fat on absorbent paper.
• Dip heated iron into batter to about 3/4 its height.
• If iron is properly heated and drained the batter will coat the iron.
• If batter does not adhere the iron is too cool or greasy.
• Plunge batter-coated iron quickly into the hot fat and cook from two to three minutes or until active bubbling ceases.
• Invert iron over fat to drain fat off, then remove rosette from iron onto absorbent paper, inverting rosette to drain completely.
• Your rosette should be crisp as soon as it is slightly cool.
• If it is not, your fat may be too cool.
• If rosette does not drop off form easily, rap the form sharply with a knife handle to jar it loose.
• While still warm, sprinkle with confectioners sugar.
• Crevices may also be filled with raspberry jam (or your favorite) prior to coating with the sugar.
