I’ve been making them at carnivals for years. They are always the first to disappear from the table

The carnival period is full of sweets and delicacies, for which there is certainly no shortage of people willing. Therefore, it is worth choosing a little more variety and, in addition to the classic donuts, donuts or faworki, this year, prepare carnival roses. It is one of the most impressive delicacies, although today it remains somewhat forgotten. I have been making them in my home for many years and they are second to none.

In the past, they also appeared next to donuts and on solids carnival roses, also known as wattle roses. It is a traditional crispy cake in a shape resembling roses, most often prepared from the same pastry dough used to make faworki.

For this purpose several discs of different sizes are cut out, the petals are cut and connectedthus creating a characteristic flower. After deep frying, they become golden in color decorated with wild rose marmalade they look extremely impressive. They also taste the same.

This delicacy was already known in Old Polish cuisine as one of the traditional carnival sweets. Preparing roses requires some time and precision, which is why they were most often prepared for carnival feasts and Fat Thursday.
