A fairy iron was a special metal shape with a handle which you heated in oil until hot, then dipped in a very light batter which stuck to the hot iron before deep frying batter. The cooked shapes you filled with savouries e.g. smoked fish sauce, mince, bacon & egg mix etc. These were extremely delicious and I have been hunting recipe for the batter for years. I have kept the iron for over 40 years waiting for the recipe. Batter was very very light and crisp.
Recipe may have been in an Aunt Daisy cookbook.

Enjoy your Rosettes
Ingredients:
2 eggs
2 teaspoons sugar
1 cup milk
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
Oil for deep-fat frying
ICING:
2 cups confectioners’ sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 to 3 tablespoons water
Prep:
In a small bowl, beat eggs and sugar; stir in milk and vanilla. Combine flour and salt; gradually add to batter until smooth.
Heat 2-1/2 in. of oil to 375° in a deep-fat fryer or electric skillet. Place rosette iron in hot oil, then dip in batter, three-fourths up the sides of iron (do not let batter run over top of iron). Immediately place in hot oil; loosen rosette with fork and remove iron.
Fry rosettes 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove to paper towel-lined wire racks. Repeat with remaining batter.
For icing, combine the confectioners’ sugar, vanilla and enough water to achieve a dipping consistency. Dip edges of rosettes into icing; let dry on wire racks. Yield: about 5 dozen.
