Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
Flavorings:
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Cooking Ingredients:
- Canola oil for frying
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Combine eggs, sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl, whisking thoroughly until the mixture becomes pale and slightly frothy.
- Gradually incorporate flour, milk, and vanilla extract into the egg mixture, stirring gently until a smooth, lump-free batter forms. Avoid overmixing to maintain the delicate texture.
- Pour vegetable oil into a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pan, heating to precisely 375°F for optimal frying conditions.
- Submerge the rosette iron in the hot oil for approximately 2 minutes, ensuring even heat distribution across the entire iron.
- Carefully dip the preheated iron into the batter, coating about 7/8 of its surface, then immediately lower it into the sizzling oil.
- Allow the rosette to fry for roughly 30 seconds, watching for a uniform golden-brown color that indicates perfect crispiness.
- Gently transfer the fried rosette to a paper towel-lined cooling rack, delicately removing it from the iron to preserve its intricate shape.
- Once cooled slightly, dust the rosettes generously with powdered sugar, creating a delicate, sweet finish before serving.
Notes
- Choose a sturdy, deep iron rosette mold for consistent crispy results.
- Maintain oil temperature precisely at 375F to prevent soggy or burned pastries.
- Experiment with flavor variations by adding almond extract or citrus zest to batter.
- Make batter ahead and refrigerate for smoother, more consistent texture.
