When I met my youngest daughter a few days ago at the Zoo, she greeted me with a box of these yummy Scandinavian Rosettes that she had bought at a fairly recent Scandinavian Christmas Fair. We used to buy these many years ago. A lovely surprise and treat! "Rosettes are a thin, cookie-like deep-fried pastry of Scandinavian origin. They are traditionally made during Christmas time. Rosettes are made using intricately designed irons. The iron is heated to a very high temperature in oil, dipped into the batter, then re-immersed in the hot oil to create a crisp shell around the metal. The iron is immediately removed and the rosette is separated from the iron. Usually, the edges of the rosette are dipped into frosting or sugar. Rosette recipes are popular in the United States among families with Scandinavian ancestry." From Wikipedia.
