This recipe for rose candy is a typical recipe for Easter, especially in the Sierra del Andevalo, in Huelva. And as we have learned, a recipe that is also very typical for much of the city of Badajoz and certain towns in the province. Normally you will find this sweet of roses made with honey, mainly, with a thin layer on the outside, as is also applied to pestiños, another typical Easter recipe. However, for those who do not like honey we have made a different version of this sweet week-santero: with sugar and cinnamon. It's just as good! But to taste the colors, right?

Ingredients
- 100 g. pastry flour
- 7 eggs
- 1 liter of sunflower oil to fry the roses
- Sugar and cinnamon
Preparation
- As you see there are very few ingredients that are necessary, but something that you will need to make these roses is the mould for it. It's about a metal utensil in the shape of a flower. It is usually sold in bazaars, so we do not think you will have serious difficulties when it comes to finding it.
- Heat the sunflower oil in a pot. This has to be very hot for the roses to come out perfect.
- While the oil is heating up, let's go mixing in a medium bowl, the 7 eggs together with the 100 grams of pastry flour. Mix well with the help of a rod without leaving lumps.
- The process is as follows: In this beaten mixture of eggs and flour, we will put the metallic utensil of the flowers, filling its petals with the mixture and as we remove it we put it in the oil. The rose will take shape and soon will detach from the metal utensil. Brown a little on both sides and take out. This is how we will do with all the roses until the mixture is finished.
- Once we have finished making them, the only thing left is to pass each rose through one mixture of sugar and cinnamon. And ready! Delicious roses, ready to sink your teeth into.
