The rosette iron is a special kitchen device used to make the pastries known as rosettes. These are deep-fried delicacies, crisp and brown. They may have a slight lemon taste and are normally served hot, sprinkled with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar, or are frosted. A rosette iron has two parts. The first part is a long handle made of metal, to which a decoratively shaped form is attached. There are decorations like star, butterfly and heart. The decorative form is made of cast aluminium, and after the form is dipped into hot oil, it is dipped in the rosette batter, and then fried for a few minutes to create crispy rosettes.
