Makes about 42
2 eggs
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Combine eggs, sugar, and salt; beat well. Add remaining ingredients; beat until smooth. Heat rosette iron in deep, hot oil (350 to 375 F) for two minutes. Drain excess oil from iron; dip in batter to 1/4 inch from top of iron, then immediately into hot oil. Fry rosette until golden, 10 to 30 seconds. Lift out; tip upside down to drain. With fork, push rosette off iron onto rack placed over paper towels. Reheat iron 1 minute; make next rosette. If you have two rosette irons, reheat one while using the other. Stir batter from time to time as you will get some oil in it. Sprinkle rosettes with confectioner's sugar.

I love these rosettes. It's been a Christmas for years. I always make them for the children's Christmas party at school. They are really quite simple and delicious!! 5 stars

These are always impressive and I've made them for years. I know my mother always used lard, but that was back in the day. Peanut oil works well, humidity levels in Florida are tough on these delicate treasures so when I'm thru making them I refigerate them after they have cooled. Instead of confectioners sugar I lay them in colored granulated sugar as soon as they come off the iron. Beautiful presentation on an antique glass or silver platter. 5 stars

I grew up with Rosettes every Christmas, last year I made them for the first time and it was a major flop. I had to call my brother to find out what I did wrong. Much to my surprise my mother did not tell me the secret to the batter. For the Rosettes to easily come off, refrigerate the batter at least several hours before deep frying them.So chill before frying.....Good luck, I did that and it worked and OMG they were just like mom used to make. 5 stars
