Pizzelle
Delicious Central-Italian wafer cookie that my family usually makes at Christmas-time but they are delicious with coffee all year long! You will need a specific pizzelle iron (electric or old-fashioned) for this recipe.
Ingredients
- - 3 large eggs
- - 3/4 cup sugar
- - 3/8 tsp salt
- - 1 tsp vanilla extract or 1/4 to 1/2 tsp of other extract such as almond lemon or anise (traditional)
- - 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- - 2 tsp baking powder
- - 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
Instructions
- Beat eggs, sugar, salt, vanilla (or other extract) until well combined.
- Stir in flour and baking powder. Mix until smooth.
- Add melted butter, mix well until smooth again. Batter will be thick and soft.
- Heat pizzelle iron. Once hot, drop a small spoonful of the batter on the iron. Close the iron to bake the wafer. Check for doneness until you know about how long it should take for a golden brown wafer. Electric irons sometimes have an indicator depending on the heat level, adjust heat as needed.
- Cool the wafers completely, they don't take long. Serve plain, drizzled with chocolate or dusted with powdered sugar.
