Rosette Recipes

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:

• In a small bowl, beat the eggs, milk, sugar and salt. Gradually add flour; beat until smooth. , In a deep-fat fryer or electric skillet, heat 2-1/2 in. of oil to 375°. Place rosette iron in hot oil for 30 seconds. Blot iron on paper towels, then dip iron in batter to three-fourths the way up the sides (do not let batter run over top of iron). Immediately place in hot oil; loosen rosette with fork and remove iron. , Fry for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove to a wire rack covered with paper towels. Repeat with remaining batter. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar before serving.

Steps:

• Pour milk into a small bowl and add the seeds scraped from the vanilla bean. Whisk to combine. In a bowl, combine the sugar, salt, cardamom and flour. Add the eggs, alternating with the milk. Whisk until smooth and thick. Let the batter stand for at least 30 minutes or refrigerate overnight.
• Heat the oil in a 4-quart saucepan over medium high heat until a deep frying thermometer registers 375 degrees F.
• Attach the rosette iron to its handle. Carefully dip the iron into the oil for 2 to 3 minutes. Blot with paper towel. Always reheat the rosette iron before dipping into the batter.
• Dip the hot iron into the batter up to the top edge. Do not allow the batter to coat the top of the iron. Submerge the iron in the hot oil and cook the rosette until lightly browned. Remove from the oil and gently remove the rosette from the iron, using a fork if necessary. If rosette pops out of the iron and falls into the oil, use tongs to retrieve it.
• Drain rosettes on paper towels. Sprinkle the rosettes with the confectioners' sugar before serving.

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.
