New Years & Rosettes

We hung out at my in-laws for New Years Eve (evening) and New Years Day. Elizabeth is doing some quality control on Daddy's new sockets! I think they passed the one-tooth-test!
New Years Eve, we decided to make Rosettes, a Czech pastry. The batter is similar to funnel cake, but much thinner. You dip your irons into hot oil.

Then dip them into the batter.

Then deep-fry.

Fry to a golden color. They just fell off of the irons for us.

After they cool, you dip them into a egg-white/powdered sugar icing. Then let them dry out in a low oven. They are light and crisp and oh, so good! A lot of people dip the iced rosettes into colored, finely ground coconut, but we decided not to and they were just as good!
