Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups all‐purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ pound butter (softened at room temperature (you could use a butter alternative like Earth Balance to go dairy-free))
¾ cup sugar
3 large eggs (at room temperature)
grated peel of one lemon
3 Tablespoons fresh orange juice
¼ cup milk (I used almond milk to go dairy-free, but feel free to use whatever milk you like)
2 teaspoons anise extract (optional (or any liqueur like Strega))
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Steps:

  • Warm up a pizzelle iron.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder; set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the eggs and sugar until frothy and beginning to thicken (about 2-3 minutes).
  • On low speed, add the extracts and melted butter to egg mixture in a steady stream and mix for 30 seconds.
  • Slowly add the dry mixture to wet and blend just until combined. Your batter will resemble a soft and sticky dough.
  • Spray pizzelle iron lightly with baking spray.
  • Drop 1 tablespoon of batter on hot pizzelle press.
  • Close press and cook for about 1 minute or until light indicated cookies are done (cookies should be slightly golden).
  • Use a fork to lift pizzelle off the press and transfer to a cookie rack or plate to cool down (keep in mind that they should lay flat. While they are hot, they will mold into another shape if they're not completely flat).
  • Spray iron again and repeat process until you finish all the batter.
  • Dust with confectioner's sugar and ENJOY!

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time 50m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 eggs
¾ cup white sugar
½ cup butter, melted
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar until thick. Stir in the melted butter and vanilla. Sift together the flour and baking powder, and blend into the batter until smooth.
  • Heat the pizzelle iron, and brush with oil. Drop about one tablespoon of batter onto each circle on the iron. You may need to experiment with the amount of batter and baking time depending on the iron. Bake for 20 to 45 seconds, or until steam is no longer coming out of the iron. Carefully remove cookies from the iron. Cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
  • For chocolate pizzelles, add 1/4 cup cocoa sifted together with flour and baking powder, 1/4 cup more sugar and 1/4 teaspoon more baking powder. I find that for the chocolate mixture, the iron must be well oiled to start and then brush on more as needed.

Tips:

  • Use a pizzelle maker that is specifically designed for vegetable oil. Otherwise, your pizzelles may stick to the maker.
  • Make sure your pizzelle maker is preheated before you start cooking. This will help to ensure that your pizzelles are cooked evenly.
  • Use a light touch when pouring the batter onto the pizzelle maker. If you pour too much batter, the pizzelles will be thick and doughy.
  • Cook the pizzelles for the amount of time specified in the recipe. If you cook them for too short a time, they will be soft and chewy. If you cook them for too long, they will be hard and brittle.
  • Let the pizzelles cool completely before storing them. This will help to prevent them from becoming soft and chewy.

Conclusion:

Pizzelles are a delicious and easy-to-make cookie that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients and a pizzelle maker, you can create these crispy and flavorful treats in your own home. Whether you serve them plain or topped with your favorite toppings, pizzelles are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
