 Serves |  Total Time |
|---|---|
| 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 1/2 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 1/4 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.
