Ingredients
Instructions
- Add salt, sugar, and flavoring into the eggs.
- Add 1/2 cup milk and all the sifted flour, then add the remaining 1/2 cup milk, stirring gently.
- Do not beat the mixture.
- Let it set if foamy.
- Place oil and mold in the fryer and heat to 385°F.
- Shake excess oil off the iron and touch the iron on a paper towel to absorb oil.
- Dip the hot iron into the batter almost to the top (but not over the top).
- Place the dipped iron in hot oil.
- When the rosette holds its shape, remove the iron and let the rosette brown.
- Turn the rosette once to cook evenly.
- Remove the rosette from the oil and drain on paper towel.
- Repeat the process for remaining batter.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, use a light hand when mixing to avoid overworking the batter, which can make the rosettes tough. If you want to experiment with flavors, consider adding vanilla or almond extract as a substitute for the specified flavoring. Ensure your oil is at the right temperature (385°F) for perfectly crispy results. If you find the batter too thick, a splash more milk can help achieve the desired consistency.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the rosettes dusted with powdered sugar for a classic touch, or try drizzling them with chocolate or caramel sauce for a decadent dessert. They pair beautifully with fresh berries or a scoop of ice cream. For a delightful brunch, serve alongside Luscious Jello Salad and coffee for a complete experience.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover rosettes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. To reheat them, place the rosettes in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes until they are crispy again. Avoid microwaving, as this will make them soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the batter ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter a few hours in advance. Just cover it tightly and store it in the refrigerator. Before using, let it come to room temperature and gently stir again to ensure a good consistency.
What if I don't have a rosette mold?
If you don't have a rosette mold, consider using a small cookie cutter or a metal mold to create similar shapes. Alternatively, you can simply drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil for free-form fritters.
Can I use gluten-free flour for this recipe?
Absolutely! Substitute regular flour with a gluten-free flour blend to make this recipe suitable for gluten-free diets. Just ensure that the blend you choose is designed for baking to get the right texture.
