Description

Experience the ultimate crunch with these paper-thin, deep-fried Scandinavian delicacies that shatter upon every bite. Infused with vanilla and blanketed in a heavy dusting of confectioners’ sugar, this recipe makes sixty stunning cookies perfect for any festive gathering.


Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Confectioners’ sugar for dusting


Instructions

  1. Prepare a frying station by placing a wire cooling rack over paper towels to manage excess oil.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, white sugar, and salt until the mixture is well combined and frothy.
  3. Add the sifted flour, milk, and vanilla extract to the bowl and beat vigorously until the batter is completely smooth and free of lumps.
  4. Pour at least two inches of vegetable oil into a deep skillet and heat it to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), monitoring closely with a thermometer.
  5. Place the rosette iron into the hot oil for 2 minutes to temper the metal before dipping.
  6. Lift the heated iron, drain quickly, and dip it into the batter so it reaches 1/4 inch from the top of the iron, making sure the batter does not go over the top edge.
  7. Plunge the iron into the hot oil and fry for approximately 30 seconds until the cookie is crisp and golden brown.
  8. Remove the iron from the oil and use a fork to gently nudge the rosette onto the wire rack to cool.
  9. Reheat the iron in the oil for one minute between each cookie and repeat until all batter is used.
  10. Dust the warm cookies generously with confectioners’ sugar before serving.

Notes

To ensure a perfect release, never submerge the top of the rosette iron into the batter, as this will trap the cookie on the mold. If your cookies aren’t crisping up instantly, double-check that your oil temperature hasn’t dropped below 375 degrees F during the frying process.
