THE VERY BEST PIZZELLE RECIPE
Steps:
- Preheat the pizzelle iron.
- With a hand mixer, beat the eggs and sugar in a large bowl until light in color and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Add the vanilla, lemon zest and butter. Beat until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
- Fold the dry ingredients, a little bit at a time, into the egg mixture until just incorporated and the batter is smooth.
- Place 1 heaping tablespoon of batter in the center of the design on the pizzelle iron. Close the iron to press the dough flat and bake until golden brown, approximately 1 minute. (Cooking times may vary depending on your appliance, please adjust accordingly.)
- Using a spatula, remove the cookie from the iron and transfer to a rack to cool.

PIZZELLE
Hailing from Abruzzo in Central Italy, pizzelle are crisp, flat waffle-esque cookies made in a special hot iron. Like mostaccioli, these cookies predate Christmas -- in fact, it is said that this is the oldest known cookie recipe on earth, dating back to the 8th century BC. In olden times, presses were made from cast iron and would be heated over a fire, or directly on the stovetop. You can still find those irons if you're up to the challenge, but electric irons are much easier to use, and very easy to find both online and at major retailers.

Steps:
- Whisk together the sugar, butter, milk, vanilla, anise extract if using and eggs in a large bowl. Add the flour, baking powder and salt, and continue to whisk until the batter is smooth. Allow to stand at room temperature for at least 1 hour so the batter can hydrate.
- Heat the pizzelle iron, and cook your pizzelles according to the manufacturer's directions.

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.

PIZZELLES
These are really good Pizzelles. I found the recipe in a cookbook called The Frugal Gourmet Cooks Italian. I use Watkins Vanilla in mine, but you're welcome to use Anise if you prefer. These are traditionally made at Christmas time, but we like them all year long. If everything is uniform the yield is probably close to 5 or 6 dozen pizzelles. They keep very well in a plastic bag or covered plastic container. Prep. time and yield are approximate. You'll need a Pizzelle iron for this recipe. I use an electric model and plug it in prior to mixing the batter. It's heated and ready to use when I get the batter made. Spray tops and bottoms of mold with Pam (lightly) each time you add new batter to molds.

PIZZELLE
This recipe was adapted from one that my Italian-born mother and grandmother followed. They used old irons on a gas stove, but now we have the convenience of electric pizzelle irons. These delectable cookies are still a traditional treat in our family. —Elizabeth Schwartz, Trevorton, Pennsylvania

Tips:
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before beginning. This allows them to combine more easily and evenly, resulting in a smoother batter.
- Use a pizzelle maker that is clean and well-seasoned. A dirty or poorly seasoned pizzelle maker can cause the cookies to stick and burn.
- Preheat the pizzelle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. This ensures that the cookies cook evenly.
- Pour just enough batter onto the pizzelle maker to cover the surface. Too much batter will cause the cookies to be thick and doughy.
- Cook the pizzelles according to the manufacturer's instructions. Overcooking or undercooking can result in dry, crumbly cookies.
- Remove the pizzelles from the pizzelle maker immediately after they are done cooking. This prevents them from becoming too crispy.
- Let the pizzelles cool completely on a wire rack before storing. This helps them to retain their crispiness.

Pizzelles are a delicious and versatile cookie that can be enjoyed on their own or used in a variety of desserts. With a few simple tips, you can easily make perfect pizzelles at home. Whether you are a seasoned baker or a beginner, I encourage you to give this recipe a try. Experiment with different flavors and toppings to create your own unique pizzelles.
