Hello Dorothy,
Well, you are making a difference between these waffles and rosettes, but the
people who manufacture the waffle mix for use by the vendors at county fairs,
circuses, and carnivals say they are the same. Here's what they say:
"French Waffles are called by many names – Sugar Waffles, Rosecakes, Rosettas,
Circus Waffles and many others, too. But no matter what you call them, they are a very
thin, crispy fried product that folks love."
"...in the United States, we have many different names for these cookies. For instance:
Minnesota = Rosette Cookie
Ohio = Sugar Waffle Cookie
Florida = Fried Cookie
New York = Italian Fried Cookie
Maryland = Lace Cookie
Georgia = Elegant Wedding Cookie
Pennsylvania = Festival Sugar Waffle
Indiana = Fair Sugar Waffle"
See:

Perhaps it's a matter of size. The smaller ones are crispy, and the larger
ones are less so. But they appear to be made from the same batter.
There is a recipe for County Fair Waffles on my site. See:

I could not tell you exactly where to buy fresh currants. I could not find them

retailers and large supermarkets there.
