For rosettes and timbales, you use what is basically
a pancake batter. It isthe same concept as funnel cakes (there are several
recipes for them on the Web here and there), too,
just more uniform than free-form funnel style patterns
(which are fun .. can make designs, letters, etc. w/funnel.
.
I will post the funnel cake recipe I've used and had
fun with. I just bought the set you have and haven't
used it yet. If you don't have the original instructions
and recipe(s?) that come with it, I'll type them up
for you. Let me know if that's what you meant, okay?
.
I'd also love to see what other variations people
have come up with for this but I put out a request
for funnel cake recipes and got no response (that I
know of, anyway). I think the idea is to look at
pancake variations and add things that are minced very
finely so they can stay on the iron. Extracts and
spices can vary them a lot to start with.
