|---|---|
| 30-50 | 55 minutes |
Ingredients¶
3 large eggs
149 g granulated sugar- 0.38 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
210 g all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
113 g melted butter- some confectioners' sugar
Cookware¶
- 1 pizzelle iron
- 1 cooking rack
- 1 scissors
Instructions¶
Step 1¶
Beat the eggs, granulated sugar, salt, and vanilla until well combined.
Step 2¶
Stir in the all-purpose flour and baking powder, mixing until smooth.
Step 3¶
Add the melted butter, again mixing until smooth; the batter will be thick and soft.
Step 4¶
Heat your pizzelle iron. Grease it as directed in the manufacturer's instructions. As the iron heats, the batter will stiffen.
Step 5¶
Cook the pizzelle according to the instructions that came with your iron. In general, they'll take between 45 seconds and 2 ½ minutes to brown.
Step 6¶
Remove the pizzelle from the iron, and cool on a cooking rack. If desired, use a pair of scissors to trim any ragged edges.
Step 7¶
Dust cooled pizzelle with confectioners' sugar, if desired.
Tip
Flavor to taste: classic pizzelle are often flavored with anise extract or anise seed. Butter-rum, lemon, or rum flavors are also delicious. Simply add extract to the batter to taste. Start with ¼ teaspoon; amounts will vary a lot, depending on the strength of the extract you choose.
Tip
One reader suggests the best way to grease your pizzelle iron is to dip a towel in vegetable oil, and wipe it all over the iron's interior plates. This helps avoid the sticky residue you may get from spraying the iron with non-stick spray.
