    2 eggs
    1 Tbsp. sugar

    1 c. milk
    1 c. flour

    Heat fat (I used oil) to 360 degrees to 375 degrees in deep fat fryer.Place
    the irons in hot oil while mixing batter. Oil is hot enough when a cube of
    bread will brown in oil in 30 seconds. Mix well all the ingredients except the
    eggs. Add slightly beaten eggs to the other ingredients. Do not over mix as this
    causes rosettes to be bubbly! Tap hot iron on folded cloth to remove excess
    oil. When rosette is fried in hot oil, tip iron
    upside down to drain oil. Push rosette off iron with fork. Dip in sugar while
    warm. If rosettes arent crispy, oil isn't hot enough (or too much flour). If
    they fall off Iron too soon, oil is too hot.
