recipe: looking for: deep fried 'waffle' pastry batter recipe

Posted by sugarmaple (My Page) on

Hi. I recently "won" a pastry wand at an auction. It is a handle that attaches to numerous decorative shapes. The attachment is dipped into a batter and then placed in hot oil. The batter deep fries and falls off of the wand in the shape of the attachment. When the pastry is done, powdered sugar or cinnamon, etc, can be sprinkled on. No recipe for the batter was included. My mom, years ago when I was a child, had a set but she didn't use it often and then she couldn't find it -it either got thrown out, or borrowed, or who knows - but evidently the name of these crunchy pastries and the batter recipe went with it. I did a search on the internet but I couldn't locate anything. I would appreciate any help. Thanks, Colleen

the pastry is called swedish rosettes, usually made at Christmas time. google the recipe you'll find it under that name, also it takes practice if you've never used these irons once you get the hang of it its easy.

We have a shop here called Gourmet Foods and they have the rosettes and receipts you area talking about as there is alot people from Norway here in ND. Got google search, and type in what you have and you should find plenty of help. Also a good bookstore will help.

I have some very old cookbooks and have been trying to find a recipe for the Rosettes. I found the following in one of them:
(from America's Cookbook, 1937 - page 662)
Timbale Cases and Rosettes..."Timbale cases and rosettes are those fragile, deep-fried pastry cups whicb hold a mouthful of sweet or savory filling for garnishing a main dish, salad, or dessert; or the rosettes can be dusted with confectioners' sugar and used as cooky confections".

Timbale Cases
1 cup sifted flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs slightly beaten
7/8 to 1 cup milk
1 tablespoon salad oil (use vegetable oil)

"Mix and sift dry ingredients, gradually mix in mixture of egg, milk and oil, beating only until smooth; strain and let stand an hour if full of air bubbles; when ready to use, pour small amount into a large cup for dipping. Set iron in deep fat and heat to 360° - 370° degrees F., or until a cube of bread browns in 1 minute. Drain iron slightly on unglazed paper (brown paper bag or toweling)and dip into cup, covering only the sides of iron to about one-eighth inch of top. Lower into hot fat and fry1 to 1½ minutes, or until delicately browned; remove from fat, loosen case from iton with a fork and drain on unglazed paper, inverting to drain inside; if fat is too hot or too cold, batter will not cling to the iron. Repeat, adding batter to cup, as needed for more dipping. Timbale iron comes in various shapes which can be used for vegetables, creamed entrees and desserts. Aproximately 40 cases".

Rosettes or Rosetbakkels....."Use recipe for Timbale Cases (above), adding l tablespoon sugar to batter; use rosette iron, being careful not to let batter come up over edge of iron. Use in same way as patties with whipped cream flavored with raspberry or other jams, or other creamy desserts. Or dust with confectioners' sugar before serving on a cooky plate. Store plain rosettes in tight container in a dry place; if they soften, crisp by placing in moderate oven (350°F.) about 5 minutes. Yield 40 rosettes"..

I also think that maybe "Funnel Cake" batter could be adapted for this use ???
