ROSETTE COOKIES/SWEDISH ROSETTES



Rosette Cookies/Swedish Rosettes image

Rosettes are traditional Swedish cookies. Light and crispy, they are favorites of young and old. Rosettes are unusual in that they are fried. You will need a rosette iron, which is available in many stores (Target is one) and online. The irons come in many shapes, but the rosette is traditional. I didn't list quantities for oil and powdered sugar as more will be required than will actually become part of the rosettes. They will be around 30 calories each (before sugaring). Allowing the batter to rest creates thinner, crisper cookies. Preparation time includes resting time.

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 dozen, 48 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 eggs
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup sifted flour
flavorless oil (canola)
powdered sugar

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.

Tips:

  • Use a Rosette Iron - A rosette iron is a specialized kitchen tool that gives rosettes their iconic shape. It's important to ensure your rosette iron is well-seasoned before using it.
  • Heat the Iron Properly - Before cooking, heat the rosette iron over medium-high heat until it's hot enough to cause the batter to sizzle when dropped onto it.
  • Use the Right Batter - The batter for rosettes should be thin and slightly runny, similar to pancake batter. It's crucial to achieve the right consistency for successful rosette formation.
  • Drop the Batter Carefully - When pouring the batter onto the hot rosette iron, do it carefully to avoid splattering. Use a勺子 or squeeze bottle for precise placement.
  • Cook Until Golden Brown - Cook the rosettes until they turn a beautiful golden brown color. This indicates that they are cooked through and ready to be removed from the iron.
  • Drain on Paper Towels - After removing the rosettes from the iron, place them on paper towels to drain off excess oil. This helps achieve a crispy texture.
  • Sprinkle with Powdered Sugar - While the rosettes are still warm, sprinkle them with powdered sugar for a classic touch and extra sweetness.
