Pizzelle Recipe
A crispy and VERY tasty Italian cracker
Equipment
- 1 Pizzelle maker - electric We have a cusinart that we have had for 10 years and it's still going strong
Ingredients
- olive oil or non stick cooking spray for greasing the pizzelle iron
- 2 cups flour
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter melted and cooled
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 large eggs - more or less depends on size - jumbos only 3 - small 5
- 1 tbsp. anise or vanilla or lemon extract which ever flavor you want - I use 1/2 each of vanilla and anise
- 2 level tsp. baking powder
Instructions
- Plug in your pizzelle iron and lightly coat the burner surfaces with olive oil or cooking spray.
- Put all of the ingredients in a bowl and stir them together with a large whisk or an handheld electric mixer. Scoop out about a tablespoon of the batter and lay it on a burner just a little bit in back of the center. Close the lid and when the pizzelle iron tells you it is done open it up and pluck out the pizzelles with a table fork.
- As you get them out of the iron lay them out on a cloth to cool and firm up. And that's it!
