ROSETTES

Steps:

• In deep medium bowl, beat granulated sugar, the salt and eggs with electric mixer on medium speed. Beat in 2 tablespoons oil, the water and flour until smooth. In 3-quart saucepan, heat oil (2 to 3 inches) to 400°F.
• Heat rosette iron by placing in hot oil 1 minute. Tap excess oil from iron on paper towels. Dip hot iron into batter just to top edge (don't go over top). Fry about 30 seconds or until golden brown. Immediately remove rosette; invert onto paper towels to cool. (If rosette is not crisp, batter is too thick; stir in a small amount of water or milk.)
• Heat iron in hot oil and tap on paper towels before making each rosette. (If iron is not hot enough, batter will not stick.) Sprinkle with powdered sugar just before serving or drizzle with chocolate glaze.
• To make chocolate glaze, in 2-cup microwavable measuring cup, place chocolate chips, butter and corn syrup. Microwave uncovered on Medium 1 to 2 minutes or until chocolate can be stirred smooth. Drizzle glaze over rosettes.

ROSETTE COOKIES/SWEDISH ROSETTES

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.

UKRAINIAN ROSETTES (FRIED COOKIES)

Steps:

• Beat the eggs and the egg yolks together.
• Beat in the sugar, butter and salt.
• add enough flour to make medium soft dough that is easy to handle.
• Knead lightly in the bowl to incorporate the flour.
• Cover and let the dough stand for 10 minutes.
• Roll very thin, about 1/8 inch or thinner, using a small amount of dough at a time.
• Cut into circles with small cooky cutters of two different sizes, about 1 1/2 and 1 inch in diameter.
• Place 2 circles of the same size one over the other, and top them with a smaller circle.
• Press the centers together tightly with the blunt button point of a knitting needle, or with a finger tip.
• The knitting needle is preferred as the finger tip leaves a large depression, making the fried rosettes hard in the center.
• Make 5 even slits on the outer edge of the circles to form petals.
• These petals will curl up in frying, giving a rosette shape.
• Fry, a few at a time, in deep fat (375 degrees F) until delicately browned.
• Drain on absorbent paper.
• sprinkle with the confectioners' sugar.
• Just before serving, place the candied cherry, cut in half, or a dab of red jelly, in the hollow of each rosette.
