Polish Fried Rosette Cookies Recipe [Rozetki]

Ingredients

• 1 cup of all-purpose flour

• 1 cup of milk

• 2 eggs

• a pinch of salt

• a pinch of sugar

• lard or oil to fry (2-3 cups)

• icing sugar to sprinkle rosettes

Instructions

1. Mix flour, milk, eggs, salt, and sugar to get the batter.

2. Pour oil onto the pan or wide and low pot.

3. Heat the oil with molds inside. First, set maximum heat on your oven. When the oil is hot enough, reduce the heat (for my oven it was level 6 out of 9).
   
   How to check whether the oil is hot enough? Throw a pinch of salt onto the oil. If you hear it sizzling, you may start frying rosettes.

4. Take off the molds from the oil using the handle (careful! they are really hot!). Screw the handle into the mold of your choice.

5. Dip the mold into the batter, making sure the top of it is untouched (if you dip the entire mold in batter, the cookie won't be able to unstick from it).

6. Place the mold into the oil. After a few seconds, it should unstick from it. Turn over the rosette and fry for another 10-30 seconds [Watch the video to see exactly how to fry the rosettes].

7. Using a fork, take off the rosette from the oil and place it on the plate lined with a paper towel.

8. Repeat the process until you use the entire batter. You may change the shape of molds in the meantime. [DON'T TOUCH THEM using your hand, they are really hot].

9. The final step is to sprinkle rosettes with icing sugar.
