My mother used to make these--not often, because the hot oil was a nuisance to
deal with, but I remember how delicious they were. We called them patties. I
wasn't aware at the time that they were an Azorean treat. I've seen the irons
sold as Swedish Rosette Irons, but there's no way my

Rick, to the best of my knowledge (after 34 years), there are no
Portuguese bakeries within hundreds of miles of where we live :-(
Gail, I recall reading an article re malassada-making during Hawaiian
Carnaval online a year or two ago. I gather there are a number of
Portuguese bakeries at least

I also have my mother's 'iron' for making the rosettes. Although I
have never tried making them, I sure enjoyed eating them when I was a
child.

MM.. malassadas!
We were just at the Feast of the Blessed Sacrament in New Bedford a week
ago, and I ate my fill of them. I live 90 miles inland from NB, and while
there are Portuguese bakeries around here, they are run by mainlanders. The
mainland old timers in this area will
Helen,
I never did see rosettes being made, all we did was the malasadas. I come
from the Big Island of Hawaii (different island from Oahu) and malasadas is
a big thing whenever there are fundraisers especially the Catholic churches.
There is one Drive Inn in Honokaa, HI that makes and sells
Maria Natalia,
The last time I had rosas (that's what I grew up calling them) was when I went
to a bridal shower last year. Most of the guests were Azorean from the various
islands and they were happy to see the delicious and beautiful rosas there.
The iron that I have is similar to the one
Rosettes are so easy to make with a rosette iron
(http://www.sugarcraft.com/catalog/cooky/rosette.htm). The batter is mixed up
quickly, much like a pancake batter. You heat up the frying oil. You select
the metal rosette attachment you want (flower, holiday shape, etc.) and screw
it onto

Hmm- I have a doily type rosette iron with long handles from my mother in law's
possessions. I was wondering what to do with it. She's been gone many years
and am now mentally prepared to let go of these things. I've been
photographing things before having someone come in and give me idea of
My mother also had the iron Rosas. She use to make them on occasion and I
remember helping her with it. I think I still have it since she has passed.
I don’t remember her telling me she took it over from Sao Miguel, but it
could have been from my relatives.

This is what I make my sweet bread with;

Okay- I found what I thought could be the rosette and the literature in the
original box says CROSS PIZELLE MAKER. Checked internet pizelles are Italian
cookies. Mine is a traditional one. I wonder if the ancestors used this to
make their Azorean cookies.
It's heavy and it says u can cook
Do u remember how she cooked with the straight handle one? Mine is a pizelle

to use it.

Debra,
I agree that the rosettes are easy to make. Surely easier and less time
consuming than making malasadas or Portuguese sweet bread.
Once you have the ingredients and cooking supplies ready and the temperature of
the oil down pat it's good to go.
