Made using a special rosette iron, these sweet treats are perfect for any festive occasion. This recipe will guide you through the process of making homemade rosettes that are sure to impress your family and friends.

Ingredients

• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Vegetable oil, for frying
• Powdered sugar, for dusting

Directions

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, flour, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until a smooth batter is formed.
2. Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or a rosette iron pan over medium-high heat. The oil should be about 2 inches deep.
3. Place the rosette iron in the hot oil for a few minutes to heat it up. Remove the iron from the oil and let it drain off excess oil.
4. Dip the hot iron into the prepared batter, making sure to coat the iron on all sides. Be careful not to fully submerge the iron into the batter.
5. Immediately place the batter-coated iron back into the hot oil and fry until the rosette turns golden brown and crispy, about 1-2 minutes.
6. Using a fork, carefully remove the rosette from the iron and transfer it onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain off excess oil. Repeat the process with the remaining batter and iron.
7. Once the rosettes have cooled, dust them generously with powdered sugar.
8. Serve the rosettes as a delightful dessert or as an accompaniment to hot beverages like coffee or tea.
