**Swedish Rosettes: A Crispy and Delicate Treat**
Swedish rosettes, also known as rosettes, are a traditional Scandinavian cookie that is often enjoyed during the Christmas season. These delicate and crispy cookies are made from a simple batter that is poured into a special rosette iron and then fried until golden brown. The result is a cookie that is both visually appealing and delicious. This article provides three different recipes for Swedish rosettes, each with its own unique flavor and texture. The first recipe is a classic Swedish rosette recipe that uses a basic batter made with flour, sugar, eggs, and butter. The second recipe adds a bit of spice to the batter with the addition of ground cardamom. The third recipe is a gluten-free Swedish rosette recipe that uses a combination of almond flour, coconut flour, and tapioca flour. No matter which recipe you choose, you are sure to enjoy these delicious and festive cookies.
ROSETTE COOKIES/SWEDISH ROSETTES
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.

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.

SWEDISH ROSETTES.. RECIPE FROM MY SISTER ELLYN
This wonderful recipe and green bowl was given to me in the 1960's from my beautiful younger sister. It was the first time I had ever tasted this wonderful delightful fried Swedish cookie. She then walked me through the recipe steps while I made my first batch. Wonderful memories! She is gone now,but not forgotten I will part...

Steps:
- 1. Gather the rosette irons,you want to use. Combine eggs, sugar, and salt, beat well. Add remaining ingredients, beat till smooth.
- 2. Heat rosette iron in deep hot oil (350-375) for two minutes. Drain excess oil from iron; dip into batter to 1/4 inch from the top,then immediately into hot oil. fry rosette till golden, 10-30 seconds. Lift out, tip upside down to drain oil back into pan.
- 3. If the rosette did not drop off iron when frying...use a fork to push off iron onto a rack over paper towels. Reheat iron again in the oil..make another rosette Stir batter from time to time as you will get a little oil in it.
- 4. Sprinkle rosettes with powdered sugar when dry and cool. Put in a pretty bowl and cover with saran wrap. Till ready to serve your guests. The pretty green bowl was made by my sister(Ellyn),and her husband(NORM) and was given to me as a Christmas present(filled with rosettes)about 1965. They had a plastic factory and this was one of there first items they produced.
Tips:
- Make sure your batter is the right consistency. It should be thick enough to hold its shape when piped, but not so thick that it's difficult to squeeze out of the piping bag.
- Heat your oil to the correct temperature before frying the rosettes. The oil should be hot enough to cause the rosettes to sizzle when they're dropped in, but not so hot that they burn.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the rosettes. This will cause them to stick together and not cook evenly.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the rosettes from the oil. This will help to drain off any excess oil.
- Dust the rosettes with powdered sugar while they're still warm. This will help the sugar to adhere to the rosettes.
Conclusion:
Swedish rosettes are a delicious and festive treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're perfect for Christmas parties, holiday gatherings, or any special occasion. With a little practice, you'll be able to make these beautiful and tasty cookies like a pro.
