Description
The pastry is prepared simply and quickly. Incredibly colorful, crunchy rose cookies are the perfect dessert for family tea time or when guests arrive. If you don’t like fluffy dough, you can add a little baking soda while preparing the dish; it will make the fritters more crisp and brittle. The treat is delicious both warm and cold. The pastry is ready. Serve at the table.

Step 4
Divide the dough into 2–3 parts and roll each into a round or rectangular sheet, dusting the work surface with flour. Cut the sheet into squares or rectangles. It is preferable that the lower squares be larger, and the upper ones smaller. You can leave the squares whole, or make slits on their edges so that the roses turn out fluffier.

Step 5
Moisten the center of each square with water and place a slightly smaller second piece on the large square, and so on. Each rose should have 4 squares. Press the center of each assembled blank from above so that the squares adhere to each other at the center.
