Description

In this class students will learn how to make Scandinavian Rosette cookies. Rosette cookies are thin, cookie-like fritters made with iron molds that are found in many cultures. The name rosettbakkels comes from Norwegian. Rosettes are crispy and typified by their lacy pattern. Rosettes are traditionally made during Christmas time. Rosette recipes are popular in the United States among families with Scandinavian ancestry. The batter is a blend of wheat flour, eggs, sugar and whole milk. The iron has a handle with a bow shape attached to the outermost. The iron is heated to a very high temperature in oil, dipped into the batter, then re-immersed in the hot oil to create a crisp shell around the metal. The iron is lifted from the oil after a short time and the rosette is separated from the iron. Usually, the edges of rosettes are dipped into frosting or sugar. Each student will make 6 rosettes to take home. That is if they don't sample them all before ! :)
