Rosette Cookies

December 29, 2011

Although these are called cookies they are more like funnel cake and oh they are so light and crispy good! I’ve seen them referred to as Swedish Rosette Cookie and I couldn’t wait to give them a try.

I think they look like snowflakes. I think a lot of things look like snowflakes and snowballs this time of year. I miss the snow! But to tell you the truth I don’t miss the shoveling. These are the only snowmen I’ve seen lately 🙂

A few months ago I found this Rosette Iron in an antique shop and thought I would give it a try. So glad I did! It was a dollar. I did look to see if these iron are still available, they are. I found these. In case you don’t find one in your local antique shop like I did and still want to make them.

I first used the iron on some cookie dough, I think it turned out to look like a poinsettia. It would be great on shortbread too.

 

Onto the Rosettes:

 

Rosette Cookie Recipe from All Recipes

2 eggs

1 tablespoon sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup flour sifted

1 cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla

powdered sugar for dusting

Mix eggs, sugar and salt. Add in the flour milk and vanilla and mix with a whisk until smooth.

Heat oil to375 degrees. ( I poured 32 oz of oil into a four quart pot)Drain excess oil off, place iron in hot oil for two minutes, then dip the hot iron into the batter but don’t let the batter touch top of iron or they won’t release. Fry rosette in oil until lightly golden, it only took 10-15 seconds, mine released off the iron and I was able to flip each one over and they came out light and crisp.I checked the oil temperature with three thermometers and they all said a different temperature. If the oil is to hot they did not seem to swell up, they just cooked to quickly and started to burn. Oil temperature is key for these to turn out right.

You have to heat the iron and oil it for each rosette, it took some time to make them. But they were worth it.

I didn’t think the amount of batter was going to make many rosettes, I was wrong it made over 48.

    I grew up helping my mom and grandma make rosettes. Such finnicky little buggers but oh so amazing once you get them right.

      They are, I think I described them as crisp but they are light and hold their shape, I thought soft would imply they would bend which these did not. They are not hard and crisp, just crisp enough to hold their shape.

    Persians stole the rosettes from the French and call them “noon-e panjareh” (window cookies). It’s always a crowd favorite!

    Such a pretty cookie. Not that I’m whining or anything but I never find anything for a dollar in antique shops.

      I sometimes think the same thing, but the shop down the street from me is kinda thrift store meets antique shop and I’m often surprised what I find cheap there 🙂 wish they’d stock it every week with new stuff I’d never get tired shopping there then! Happy New Year Paula!!!

    I have one of these rosette irons and didn’t have a recipe to use it (came as a gift years ago) – thanks to you we can finally put this thing to use! It looks like it will be well worth the wait. 🙂

      Thanks Amanda, there is one thrifty-antique store near me and I always seem to find the oddest items for really cheap there. Wish they would stock the shelves each week there, I’d be their best customer 🙂 Happy New Year!

    Why did my rosette’s not let go of the iron? I could not knock them off or scrape them off. My guess is that they were too hot. Not sure, though. Has anyone had this problem?
