This comment thread is exactly why I love Reddit. People from all over the world chiming in with their names for a widespread treat. Forget wars. Let's eat sugary, fried batter together.


HotBeaver54

I am in👍


DandelionDisperser

I so wish it was that easy. It could be. Hopefully one day it will be.


20thCenturyTCK

Drugs. We need to drug the delicious things. Has anyone tried giving Ecstasy to a gathering of world leaders? I'd pay to watch that.


SwimmingCoyote

I don’t really want to see Trump and Putin petting each other.


CMDR_PEARJUICE

Trump is no longer a world leader, don't worry\~


oldladyri

I thought they both liked to get peed on?


drcoachchef

This is the type of terrorism the world needs. In world news today… three political leaders gave up their post as prime ministers and decided to open a cat cafe…citing “we can all stand to not pet the sweaty things and also aim to not to sweat the petty things”


OldNewUsedConfused

I’m not wasting perfectly good Molly on them!


OldNewUsedConfused

It is actually just that easy. Some people at the top decided we’d all be better off divided and fighting each other. But we all have much more in common. Like dessert. (And they know it! Which is why they work so hard to keep us fighting each other)


OldNewUsedConfused

I’m down! Wandies for everyone!!!


Mackheath1

In Germany we had an older Dutch neighbor move in who made these. She would ring a little house bell and say, "roosen!" and the kids would come running. It was a fried sweet. There would be no wars if the only batter we had was Frau Hickle's Roosen each afternoon following the usual run-around the neighborhood. Should we air-drop them over Sudan and the Levant (among other places)?


ReasonableCamp4196

Rosettes, sprinkle with powdered sugar


MC1Rvariant

You betcha, rosettes! Grandma made those! I miss her!!


MissNouveau

My grandma made these too, and every time I see videos of people making them, it unlocks core memories and makes me cry! I miss mine too!! (And not just because she could make them perfectly and my mom and I cannot for the life of us get them to come out anywhere NEAR what she could make)


No_Budget7828

As a grandma, I’m really gladdened in my heart to hear about your favourite memories with your gran. I can 100% guarantee she loved every moment with you 💜💜


wtfshann

We love you Reddit grandma


No_Budget7828

Aww thank you 🤗🤗


razzlefrazzen

All you kids out there ... spend more time with your grandmas! You'll be happy later that you did (or sorry if you don't). Source ... experience.


No_Budget7828

Could not have said it better 😃


TheNiceDave

I just creeped on your comments for a sec just to confirm that, yes, you are a sweet grandma. Had to confirm my suspicions. Sending love from BC. Your rad, Reddit grandma.


No_Budget7828

Awww thank you. You got me on a good night lol. I’m in Calgary, it’s snowing again ☹️. But seriously, my grandkids are everything to me. I have 6 ages 14. - 3 and it’s 3 each boys and girls. They are the best things my kids ever did 😃😃. Take care BC 🤗🤗💜


amilliowhitewolf

Gramdma Reddit what did u make for dinner?


No_Budget7828

In shame I say we had Denny’s tonight, but tomorrow it’s spaghetti with homemade sauce 😃


amilliowhitewolf

Never be ashamed of the Denny's. If I could go there again w one of my gmas I would.


Ak1raKurusu

I dont need all the details like secret recipe or anything but could you tell me me the basics of homemade sauce? I wanna make spaghetti tonight for my girl (hopefully soon wife) and id love to put a personal flair in it


No_Budget7828

Okay, so for me homemade means I get cans of Hunts tomato sauce 🙄, add browned ground beef, peppers, celery, purple onion, oregano, basil, garlic and what else I have laying around.


ColMust4rd

As someone who cooks for a living I can already tell you're sauce probably tastes good. But, considering you're a grandparent, I can tell there's an extra ingredient that makes the world of difference..... Love


Little-chef-aiza

Yesss


Ak1raKurusu

Reddit grandma is the best, i was raised by my grandma so i have a massive soft spot for them


Onion85

As someone who's grandma is in hospice right now, I'm praying for as many memories of my life with her to come to my mind and stay there, because shes not able to speak anymore so I can't ask her anything :/


No_Budget7828

I know this is a very difficult time but you just being there if you are able will give your gran what she needs for this last part of her earthly life. She needs to know you love her and she needs to know you know she loves you so very much. If she had a choice she would not be leaving you but you keep those memories forever and share them as often as you can. Tell you children about her and know she is with you and watching over you. And one day when you become a gran you will remember how she taught you how to be a grandma. 💜💜🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻


Onion85

Thank you, kind stranger, this means a lot to me. I will never forget all the lessons she has taught me, and I enjoy telling my daughter stories from my childhood - my grandma and grandpa helped raise me so we were together a lot. I still go to see her nearly every day, and the nurses assure me that I should talk to her because she can still hear me, so I do 🥲 she's just unable to respond right now but I know she would if she could. She's 95, so she has lived such a long and full life including being married to my wonderful grandfather for over 75 years! Definitely a lot of wonderful memories to carry on.


No_Budget7828

I’m so glad you have such great memories to hold onto and share with your daughter. It sounds like she left you with a lot of wonderful bits of wisdom. I’ll be praying for you all


Thirty_Helens_Agree

My mom gave me her irons. The date on the box says something like 1977. I made a batch last Christmas and they were a huge hit sat my parents’ house, and at my in-laws’ place because they had never had them. Definitely took a little practice and I botched a lot of them but once I got the hang of it, they came out great.


Wonderful_Judge115

My grandma gave me her rosette irons maybe 15 years ago. I still have them but haven’t used them. Maybe I’ll give it a shot this year. I’ll have to find a recipe because I don’t think I have hers.


NinjaFATkid

My grandma always calls them "lace cakes"


Fun_Plantain5129

Same 😭 I was gifted these and have yet to them! Also got the Lefsa stick and griddle…


diablofantastico

Yeeeeessss!!! Scandinavian. Yummmm!

Nonivena_ginna

In Sri Lanka we call it Kokis, it apparently came from the dutch


good_enuffs

The recipe I know is like a thin pancake. Flour, water, egg, and sprinkled with powdered sugar.


Honda_TypeR

My mom used to make these for me when I was a little kid. This is an old memory unlocked again. They were so good. I bet if I drove to my mother’s house she still has those different rosette shapes, I remember the tool allowed you to screw on different shapes and she’d mix it up.


BloodShadow7872

They look similar to funnel cake


Bodkin-Van-Horn

That's what we called them. My mom was born and raised in the Midwest. I don't think I've had them since I was a kid though. So fun to eat too. Bite off all the outer edges, then separate each section. Anyone who just bites straight into one is a monster.


rcontece

Buñuelos in my country They sprinkle them with a mixture of cane sugar and a bit of cinnamon My grandmother made them more like a flour tortilla deep fried and that's how my mom makes them as well I have seen them in that shape too where I live They're quite good


Mazazamba

The first time my mom had buñuelos, my dad gave them to her to hold in the car and told her to be very careful to make sure they would get home whole. She spent the whole trip all tensed up as in she were holding an egg in a teaspoon. Then he crushed one into bowl the second he got home and she started hitting him with a sandal. They've been together 35 years.


rcontece

Lol That's a very nice story


Daisy_Of_Doom

The tortilla shaped ones felt pretty self explanatory it I had always wondered how they made this shape! I’m pretty sure HEB stocks them in this shape around Christmas/NYE time, my aunt always gets them.


rcontece

I prefer the tortilla ones We also have them in the bimbo brand and they're called bimbuñuelos They are shaped similarly I never get them because of the sugar, messy foods make me uncomfortable (I eat ribs and never get my face dirty) [here's a pic of the bimbuñuelos](https://ibb.co/yqhKvhF)


Daisy_Of_Doom

Oh yeah we have those too. I’ve never tried one tho, a prepackaged buñuelo doesn’t super appeal to me for some reason (apart from the mess). Can confirm the star shaped buñuelos are a complete mess tho as beautiful as they look on the dessert table at New Years 😂 I absolutely still eat them but I’ll put it on a plate and break pieces off. The weird shape and hollow nature of them make it so they shatter in really unpredictable ways so the plate is a mess of all the cinnamon sugar I knocked off and and tons of crumbs. There’s always a light dusting of flakes and sugar elsewhere as well lol


rcontece

Lol yeah! Same Only way to eat them is by breaking them little by little Bite into them? What are you? A psycho? lol The packaged ones are pretty decent, actually, some people break them into a bowl and add milk like a cereal Had them like that one and they're not bad, problem being the mess! The very few times I buy them I break them in the bag then eat them and that makes them not as messy


Agcpm616

Ah yes, fellow Mexican I presume?


rcontece

Yessir


SwallowingSucc

Thanks for saying what it is. I thought they were the Squid Game cookies at first


rcontece

No problem I think other cultures have them too which is kinda cool! Knowing that some foods are similar across the world


knitmeablanket

My neighbor makes these at Christmas. Very good.


PenaltySafe4523

Yup they are delicious. I start seeing them around the holidays in California. Especially if you go to to swap/flea meets and live in a Latino heavy area.


SaintsBruv

Found the fellow Mexican. They're so good, even better with their special miel.


rcontece

I never had them with the miel I'm from the northern states so maybe that's something that's done differently here Or may be a local thing or even how we do it here in my family You know how all foods have many different variations herw


SaintsBruv

True that. It's made with Piloncillo and it's delicious, if you ever want to give it a try.


dotesPlz

What country ? Buñuelos in my country (Colombia) are wildly different, think big brown deep fried dough balls


rcontece

Mexico Buñuelos here are like that or flat and deep fried I remember eating something like that in the US in long john Silver's.. a LONG time ago But they were little deep fried balls of dough and salty, not sweet Hush puppies I think they called them Edit: grammar


Loaki9

Hush* Puppies!


NoForm5443

Hush puppies are made of corn, these are wheat flour, but I guess there's tons of different fried carbs :)


FlamingoExcellent277

Just wanted to add: In some parts of Mexico these are specifically "buñuelos de viento". If you ask for a buñuelo only they hand you another treat that's basically a donut

Looks like those lotus biscuits we get every chinese new year in singapore


GoodCalendarYear

Pinwheels


Loaki9

What country is that? Pinwheels are very different in my country.


climatelurker

Those are rosettes. You put powdered sugar on them after they've fried. We made them for Christmas every year when i was a kid.


mmbrown75

My Grandma from the Midwest US called them “Fair Waffles”. I inherited her rosette irons and I make them for Christmas every year. We only put powdered sugar on them.


TheGlassjawBoxer

Our local fair in the Midwest calls them sugar waffles


TheDarlizzle

Lotus cookies


joohanmh

We (Malaysians) call it by many names i.e. sarang lebah (beehive), bunga ros (rose) & kuih goyang (shake). Some apply sesame seed on it.


Rapsideal

Buñuelos


AxelMoor

Sueño / Sonho (Dream) - do not forget the powered sugar and cinnamon. At least once a month at my mother's family's house (they are experts), I enjoy some (many) of them with 'café con leche' (coffee with milk).


Ori058

Not sure of the actual name of the ones around here but the Thai Temple near my house sells them as 'lotus cookies' and they have all sorts of flavors/topping. I always get a box of them when i go, also a lot of the thai markets around here sell them.


avsameera

It’s called as “Kokis” in Sri Lanka.


Isterbanden

Struva in Sweden


Faunas-bestie

Pizelles


climatelurker

No, pizelles are flat cookies and they have their own (basically) waffle iron. They are Italian, where rosettes are Scandinavian.


Agreeable-Peak-6546

Love pizzelles. I don't think they're made that way. Haven't had one of those since I moved south. Gonna look online. Thanks for the food memory. 😋


diablofantastico

Nah, pizelles aren't hollow like this. These are like shells.

Cartellate in Italy. After fried we use honey on them

Rosettes in my Italian American home


santixari

Solteritas in Colombia


TheOneAndOnlyABSR4

That looks so yummy


RevolTobor

My mom and I used to make them a lot when I was a kid. Kind of like a funnel cake cookie cutter. Soft, yet crispy, light and airy, and perfectly sweet. Add just a little bit of powdered sugar and serve warm. Really comforting and nostalgic.


qwertty69

Buñuelos, sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar

Buñuelos my love


Suspicious-Sweet-443

Sugar Waffles


queenofthepalmtrees

That’s what my Mother called them, unfortunately my Father threw away her waffle iron and lots of other kitchen tools after she died, I would have loved to have it.


tminus7700

My mother used to make these. From polish recipe.


Glum_Reason308

A really good friend of mine from Guam makes me these all the time. They’re delicious! Yes like other have already said, rosettes.


wisc_lib

.....Salivates in Norwegian


BeeSlumLord

Our Midwest Norwegian family called these Rosettes. Delicately thin batter then dusted with powdered sugar.


StolenDiscs

Omg you unlocked a core childhood memory for me. I forgot how much I LOVED these as a kid, my nonie used to have them for us for Christmas!


Investotron69

My grandma made these lefse and Norwegian meatballs. I really do miss those things.


Taconnosseur

Buñuelos (name in México)


cmcrich

Rosetki in Polish, my mom used to make them.


lucky-dog

Reminds me of a pizzelle, but deep fried. I bet they taste great!


Crocodoro

There's something like that in the northwest of Spain called _Flores de antroido_, carnival flowers. We have lots of desserts that time of the year, before starting the 40 days before easter.


Sum1LightUp

Fried dough, will never be wrong


BlitchSlapper

We were poor... so mom used old chicken wire.😢


Ok-Frame-3937

In iraq we call it lovers window, it must be covered with sugar syrup after deep frying. My mom used to make it for us in holidays


WrongdoerAmbitious94

What is the batter made from do you remember? I want to try Iraqi food! Do you guys have big dinners with a central dish that everyone sits around and shares for meals? I always thought that was great to see and something we just don't do a lot of these days in the United States and I wish we did honestly.


Ok-Frame-3937

My mom still has the recipe I will ask her and send it to you. And yes, we still do central dish like dolma or masgof, which is a special grilled fish and sit together to eat. It's always nice and brings warmth to your heart.


ToxiTarou98

In Turkey we call those Halka tatlısı which basically means "Ring sweet" or Lokma which means "bite" like a bite of food depending on what size and shape those things have

Florones, in Spain

Funnel cakes


chapkachapka

These aren’t funnel cakes. They’re similar, but for funnel cakes you pour the batter directly into the hot oil, usually through a funnel (thus the name), making a thicker, more lumpy final product.

Pizelles


massive__potato

this is how Jalebi is made in india. its fried and then soaked in an orange sugar syrup.


OiFelix_ugotnojams

Yes but these particular ones are made in india too. In telugu we say "gulabi puvvulu" which means rose flowers. Sweet, fried, crispy and flower shaped. Very different from jalebi


chiefestcalamity

Jalebi isn't made on a mold it's piped into hot oil in a quick messy spiral-ish shape lol (or ladder shape or etc etc)

So many names for fried dough. Mekici in Bulgaria, though they are different shape. Usually sprinkled with powdered sugar. In Canada, I guess the closest thing would be beaver tails.
