**Swedish Rosettes: A Delicate and Crispy Treat**
Swedish rosettes, also known as rosettes or rosettes cookies, are a traditional Scandinavian cookie that is often enjoyed during the Christmas season. These delicate and crispy cookies are made from a simple dough that is flavored with vanilla and almond extract. The dough is then rolled out and cut into strips, which are then twisted and fried until golden brown. The result is a light and airy cookie with a crispy exterior and a soft and chewy interior. This article provides two recipes for Swedish rosettes: a traditional recipe and a gluten-free recipe. Both recipes are easy to follow and yield delicious and festive cookies that are sure to be a hit at your next holiday gathering.
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.

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:
- Whisk together eggs, granulated sugar, milk, and vanilla in a large bowl, then add flour and salt, whisking, until just combined (do not overmix, or cookies will blister).
- Heat oil in a 3- to 4-quart heavy saucepan with rosette iron in it until thermometer registers 370 to 375°F. Carefully lift out iron, letting oil drip off into pan. Dip all but top edge of iron into batter 3 seconds, then submerge iron in oil and fry (batter adhering to iron) until golden, 35 to 40 seconds (do not let go of iron; cookie will shatter if it hits bottom of saucepan). Lift out iron, letting oil drip off, and, working over paper towels, carefully pry off rosette with a fork. Let rosette drain, hollow side down, on paper towels, then make more rosettes in same manner, heating iron in oil 10 seconds before dipping it into batter each time.
- Dust rosettes with confectioners sugar before serving.
- Available at some specialty bakeware shops and Sweet Celebrations (800-328-6722).
Tips:
- Use a rosette iron that is at least 4 inches in diameter. This will give you large, impressive rosettes.
- Heat the rosette iron in hot oil until it reaches 375 degrees Fahrenheit. This will prevent the batter from sticking to the iron.
- Drop the batter into the hot oil carefully. Do not overcrowd the iron, or the rosettes will not cook evenly.
- Fry the rosettes for 1-2 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Drain the rosettes on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Sprinkle the rosettes with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar while they are still warm.
