Ingredients

  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/4 cup Rice flour
  • 1/3 cup Granulated white sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Salt (or as per taste)
  • Pinch Baking powder

Instructions

  • 1 Keep ingredients ready.
  • 2 In a bowl, beat egg and sugar till well beaten.
  • 3 Add in the coconut milk and both the flours.
  • 4 Mix well till the batter is nice and thick but free flowing.
  • 5 This is a rose cookie mold that I used.
  • 6 Heat oil in a vessel, place the mold in the oil for few seconds(About 30 seconds).
  • 7 Dip the mold in the batter (Half way through to the mold, Don't dip the mold fully into the batter! ).
  • 8 Immediately, place the mold in the oil.
  • 9 The rose cookie will release by itself from the mold. (If it does't , then use a knife or some spoon to remove the rose cookie off the mold).
  • 10 Fry till you get a lovely color on it. (See recipe notes below ) .
  • 11 Drain the rose cookies on a paper absorbent towel. Allow them to cool completely. Repeat to make more rose cookies till all the batter has been used up.
  • 12 Store them in a air tight container. (They should stay good for 1-1.5 months). Serve them as required. Enjoy ! (See recipe notes below).

Recipe Notes

  1. Fry them on medium low heat .
  2. Usaully the first few rose cookies tend to get spoilt . (They may not come out neat ) .
  3. Once you understand the oil temperature and get a hang of it , they will all come out perfect !

    1. Hey Linda
      Its due to the excess oil on the mold that’s not heated too well. Sorry for the late reply… Been bust with Christmas and new years !

      1. Hi again, the batter is sticking to the mold. I heated the mold very well then I dip half way to the batter and it sticks. even frying I couldn’t remove it. I washed the mold and tried doig it again and same. Is there a way to do?? as I took the above the exact measurements.

        1. hi sunita
