Orange-blossom Rosettes

1 egg
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel
1/4 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon vanilla
cooking oil for deep fat frying
powdered sugar

  1. Stir egg and sugar together in a medium mixing bowl. Add flour, milk, orange peel, orange juice, and vanilla. Beat with a rotary beater till smooth.
  2. Heat a rosette iron in deep hot oil (365F) for 30 seconds. Remove iron from oil and drain on paper towels.
  3. Dip the hot iron into the batter (batter should extend three-fourths the way up the side of iron). Immediately dip iron into hot oil. Fry for 15 to 20 seconds or till golden. Lift iron out of oil, tipping it slightly to drain.
  4. Push rosette off the iron with a fork onto racks lined with paper towels. Repeat with remaining batter, reheating iron about 10 seconds each time.
  5. Sift powdered sugar over cooled rosettes.
