Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Mix together one egg, three egg yolks, sugar, cream and salt. Gradually stir in flour until dough becomes stiff enough to roll.

Step 2

Roll very thin but cut into small circles (2-3 inches diameter). Cut small slits (about 1/4 to 1/2 inch) at 12:00, 3:00, 6:00, and 9:00 positions. Paste three circles together in center using egg white.

Step 3

Fry cookies in hot oil - sides will curl up like a rose. After draining on paper towels, place a small amount of red jelly in the center of each rose and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
