2 eggs
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Combine eggs, sugar, and salt; beat well. Add remaining ingredients; beat until smooth. Heat rosette iron in deep, hot oil (350 to 375 F) for two minutes. Drain excess oil from iron; dip in batter to 1/4 inch from top of iron, then immediately into hot oil. Fry rosette until golden, 10 to 30 seconds. Lift out; tip upside down to drain. With fork, push rosette off iron onto rack placed over paper towels. Reheat iron 1 minute; make next rosette. If you have two rosette irons, reheat one while using the other. Stir batter from time to time as you will get some oil in it. Sprinkle rosettes with confectioner's sugar.

This was cool. I made this for the kids and they loved it. It tasted just like my German mother's cookies did when I was a kid. The kids were so impressed and insisted I keep this recipe!

These cookies were a tradition at Christmas time in both of my grandma's homes. No one has made them for years. I recently got my grandma's set of irons and thought I'd try to make some. I didn't see this web site until after I'd finished making the cookies.
I didn't let the iron sit in the oil for 1 minute in between making the cookies and found some of my cookies were too soft. I believe either the iron or the oil wasn't hot enough.

My mother was also from Ireland and they did use whiskey but with some Annistte flavouring and some with lemon too, vanillia was never used.

Awsome! I have looked thru my books and couldn't find my recipe.... I used to make these when my boys were small, they are not small anymore and can eat twice as many as before!!!

These cookies are so awesome, I can never make enough. Friends and family LOVE these. These are so light and lacy, they can be strung and hung... just don't expect them to last long :)

A family favorite for generations at Xmas. Dipped in powder sugar or dipped in colored icing makes them a colorful treat for young and old.
