ROSETTES - NORWIGIAN COOKIES

Steps:

• 1. Beat eggs with the vanilla, salt and sugar. Add flour and milk alternately, mixing until smooth and same thickness as pancake batter. If it isn't thick enough, add more flour, a tablespoon at a time. If it is too thick, add a teaspoon of milk at a time.
• 2. Over high heat, bring 4 - 5 inches of oil in a sauce pan to 365 degrees. (Use a deep frying thermometer if you have one, or just try to fry and adjust heat as you go). Put the rosette iron in the hot oil for 1 - 2 minutes, the iron has to be hot.
• 3. Quickly dip the hot iron into the batter (about halfway), DO NOT let the batter go over the top of the iron, the rosette will be stuck on the iron because it will fry over the top. Dip and hold the coated iron into the hot oil and fry 20-35 seconds until light golden brown. Slip onto a paper towel to drain oil and cool a little bit.
• 4. In a shallow bowl, combine the cinnamon and sugar, mix together evenly. Dip rosettes in sugar mixture while still warm, or sprinkle or sift it on. You can also sprinkle them with colored sugar sprinkles or powdered sugar. Rosettes aren't sweet until they are sprinkled with sugar!
• 5. *** you can double the recipe, but I usually prefer to take a break between batches, so I make fresh batter each time. *** Store in airtight containers (zipper bags can be used, but won't protect the cookies as they are very fragile!).

ROSETTES RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a medium bowl , whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
• Sift together the flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
• Whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until well combined. The batter should have the consistency of heavy cream. Refrigerate, covered, for two hours so the batter can fully hydrate. Also, this will assure crispier cookies.
• If using a double-prong iron, use a medium, heavy-duty deep skillet, preferably straight sided, or other medium deep heavy-duty pot. If using a single-prong iron, use a small heavy-duty deep skillet, preferably straight sided, or other small deep heavy-duty pot. Heat 2- to 2 1/2-inches of oil on medium-high heat until it reaches 360 F to 365 F.
• Pour the batter into a shallow 9-inch cake pan or pie plate. This will make it easier to dip the rosette iron. Submerge the rosette iron into the hot oil to heat for 15 seconds.
• Blot the iron molds on paper towels to remove excess oil.
• Carefully dip the heated rosette iron into the batter so that the batter covers the bottom and comes halfway up the sides of the iron, but does not cover the top.
• Submerge the batter-coated iron completely in the oil (the oil will bubble), being sure not to touch the bottom of the pot. Within 30 to 45 seconds, you will be able to remove the rosette from the iron using a metal or wooden or chopstick.
• Continue to fry until the rosette is golden brown and crisp, about 30 seconds more. Flip the rosette over, if necessary, to allow the other side to become lightly brown.
• Remove from pan with your chopstick and allow to drain and cool, inverted with the hollow side down on paper towels. Repeat the process until all the rosettes are fried, being sure the oil is at the proper temperature, and that the irons are heated in the oil and blotted on paper towels each time before dipping into the batter.
• Sift the confectioners' sugar and the cinnamon together. After the rosettes have cooled, sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar mixture and serve.
