Rosett'S
Rosett's are delicate, crispy pastries with a sweet powdered sugar coating, perfect for dessert or special occasions, offering a light and airy treat with a hint of sweetness.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix egg, canned milk, sugar, salt, and flour until smooth to form a batter.
- Heat oil in a small pot until hot.
- Fry spoonfuls of batter in the hot oil until golden brown.
- Remove from oil and shake in a bag with powdered sugar to coat.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter batter, you can substitute part of the flour with cornstarch. If you prefer a sweeter version, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the mixture. Make sure the oil is hot enough to avoid soggy rosetts; test by dropping a small amount of batter in the oil. This recipe is a great base for variations, similar to New Orleans Doughnuts.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these delightful rosetts warm, dusted with powdered sugar, as a sweet snack or breakfast treat. They pair beautifully with fresh fruit or a side of whipped cream. For a fun twist, try drizzling them with chocolate sauce or serving alongside a scoop of ice cream, making them a fantastic dessert similar to Creamy Blackberry Pie.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover rosetts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes until they are crispy again. Avoid microwaving as it may make them chewy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of milk instead of canned milk?
Yes, you can substitute canned milk with whole milk or almond milk for a dairy-free option. The texture may vary slightly, but the flavor will still be delicious. If using a non-dairy milk, ensure it is unsweetened to maintain the balance of flavors.
What is the best oil for frying rosetts?
Vegetable oil or canola oil are ideal for frying rosetts due to their high smoke points and neutral flavors. Avoid using olive oil, as it has a lower smoke point and can impart an unwanted taste. Make sure to use enough oil to allow the rosetts to float while frying.
How can I make these rosetts healthier?
To make these rosetts healthier, consider using whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour. You can also reduce the sugar by half or use a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup. Additionally, baking them in the oven instead of frying can significantly cut down on calories.
