NORWEGIAN CULTURE
Ingredients
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp. sugar
1 cup milk
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
shortening or oil for frying
Recipe
Step 1
Gently whisk together the eggs, milk and sugar in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Mix in the flour until the batter is smooth and creamy. The texture should be like thick cream.
Step 3
Place your batter in a container that is just wide enough for the rosette irons, preferably not plastic.
Step 4
Heat your oil or shortening to 370° F. Once your oil is at temperature, place your rosette iron in to preheat.
Step 5
Dip the hot rosette iron into the batter and return to the oil to cook for 20 to 35 seconds, until the rosette is lightly browned.
Step 6
Lift up the iron and allow it to drain over the oil for 5 to 10 seconds. Using a knife or fork remove and allow it to drain on paper towels. When cooled, dust with powdered sugar.
