Recipe Introduction
Minnesota First Lady, Mary Pawlenty shared this holiday recipe from her mother. It's a First Family favorite.
List of Ingredients
1 cup shifted all purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 t salt
2 eggs beaten
Scant cup of milk
5 t cooking oil
1 t pure vanilla
Oil for deep frying
Confectioner's sugarRecipe
You will need an electric skillet with plenty of oil. Iron that is used to dip in batter cannot touch bottom of electric pan.
Shift flour with sugar and salt. In a small mixing bowl beat eggs and add milk, oil and vanilla. Stir in the dry ingredients gradually and blend well. Use an accurate electric skillet. Place rosette iron in oil while it heats to 375 degrees. Allow the access fat to drip off iron (have a roll of paper towels handy). Dip the hot iron into batter almost to the top. BUT (very important) be very careful not to let the batter run over the top of the rosette iron. Hold the iron under the fat until rosette is golden brown (you might have to adjust the temp of the oil if the rosette browns too quickly or too slowly). Slide the rosette off the iron and drain on paper towel. Sprinkle with sifted confectioner's sugar after the rosette has cooled for one minute. Move rosette to a fresh paper towel. Store in a tightly covered container. If desired you may sprinkle with more confectioner's sugar before serving.
