Are Rosettes Norwegian

The “cookies” are made from a thin, crepe-like batter that is quickly deep fried on a specially shaped rosette iron. Rosettes are traditional Norwegian and Swedish Christmas cookies that are a delight to make, share, and eat.

What are rosettes?

• an ornament usually made of material gathered or pleated so as to resemble a rose and worn as a badge of office, as evidence of having won a decoration (such as the Medal of Honor), or as trimming.
• a disk of foliage or a floral design usually in relief used as a decorative motif.

Why are my rosettes not crispy?

Cooking Tips If your rosettes don’t come out crisp, your batter may be too thick (thin it with milk or water.) If the batter doesn’t stick to your mould when you dip it in the batter, then the mould is not hot enough.
