It sounds like you are talking about rosettes which my Mom used to make for special events.
You make a thin batter and dip the rosette iron into the batter and then place the rosette iron with the batter into the hot oil. It cooks quickly because it is very thin. It comes out looking very much like a doilie. When they are cold you dust them with powdered sugar. They are very flaky and delicious. Different islands call the recipes by different names so I can see where it would be called rosas de egito. There are various rose molds (hearts too). I have my Mom's rosette iron but have never made them. helen santa maria ________________________________ From: Joaquin Mendonca <ftw...@sbcglobal.net> To: azores@googlegroups.com Sent: Sun, August 14, 2011 9:52:35 AM Subject: Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Dessert called "Rosas do Egipto" ["Rosas do Egito"] or Egyptian Roses? Portuguese Bakery is still in business in Santa Clara. I was going to the bakery at least 30 to 40 years ago. I have not been there in at least 15 years. Sopas must be a new item. Last 15 years or so. I enjoy all the food from the bakery. Jack Mendonca -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to azores+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com.
