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.

In answer to the problem of the batter not sticking to the iron, per my old Nordic Ware recipe, if the iron or the oil isn't the correct temperature, the batter won't adhere.

Great Recipe!!! If iron won't pick up batter after a few cookies I have found that if you blot the iron on a paper towel before you dip in batter that helps!!I mae these cookies all year round. Everyone LOVES them!!!

I love to make these =0) My family makes them every year also.. They are from Norway and have made them for years and years =0) The heavy duty irons work the best.. also the ones with the longer handles.. and if your batter isn't sticking to the iron then your iron/oil isn't hot enough.. if it's too hot your cookies will burn! We use rum or brandy in our recipes in place of lemon or vanilla extract and we sprinkle them with powdered sugar! They are wonderful! =0)

This recipe is quite good but I must be doing something wrong because after a few cookies the iron will no longer pick up the batter but rather leaves a perfect imprint in the batter and comes up empty.

EXACTELY like mom used to make! Perfect recipe...good amount of batter..making them takes a bit of practice, however.
