My boyfriend grew up eating these so he bought me a Rosette iron (with interchangeable heads) on Amazon and this was my first time ever making them (I actually never even heard of them before I met him). My Mom and I make fried dough every Christmas (as many Italians do) but these were very different. They were much crunchier than fried dough or funnel cake and they melted in your mouth (and surprisingly super-easy to make)!

I followed the recipe on the box exactly and I used lemon extract. They were perfect!
TRADITIONAL ROSETTES
2 eggs
2 tsp sugar
1 cup milk
1 cup sifted flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 Tbsp lemon extract*
Slightly beat eggs in a medium bowl. Mix in sugar and milk. Sift flour with saIt. Stir into egg mixture, and beat until smooth (about consistency of heavy cream). Mix in extract until incorporated. Transfer to a shallow dish. **Fry as directed. When Rosettes are cool, sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve. Makes approximately 4 dozen Rosettes. *You may replace lemon extract with vanilla, brandy, anise or rum extract.
**For crispier Rosette Cookies, cover and refrigerate batter for at least 24 hours before using.
Directions:
Heat 2” of oil in skillet to 325°F. Immerse Rosette molds in hot oil until thoroughly heated, and blot excess oil off Rosette molds. Dip hot molds in dish filled with batter so that batter covers all but the top of the Rosette molds. Immerse again in hot oil, covering completely. Remove from oil when bubbling ends and pastry is golden brown. Slip Rosettes off the molds, gently tapping, should the pastry stick. (If Rosette falls off into oil, let sit until golden brown and remove with fork).
When Rosettes are cool, sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve. Makes approximately 45-50 Rosettes.
