ROSETTE BATTER RECIPE RECIPES

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:

• In a small bowl, beat eggs and sugar; stir in milk and vanilla. Combine flour and salt; gradually add to batter until smooth., Heat 2-1/2 in. of oil to 375° in a deep-fat fryer or electric skillet. Place rosette iron in hot oil, then dip in batter, three-fourths up the sides of iron (do not let batter run over top of iron). Immediately place in hot oil; loosen rosette with fork and remove iron. , Fry rosettes, a few at a time, until golden brown, 1-2 minutes on each side. Remove to paper towel-lined wire racks. Repeat with remaining batter. , For icing, combine the confectioners' sugar, vanilla and enough water to achieve a dipping consistency. Dip edges of rosettes into icing; let dry on wire racks.
