Hi all,

My son just loves the store bought Pizzelle cookies. My mom makes them but
they're just not the same, hers are more dence andnot as crispy. The store
bought are so light & thin that they almost melt in your mouth.
I'm thinking of buying a pizzelle press but first I was wondering if anyone
had a good recipe for pizzelles?

Thanks & Take care,
SPOONS

I got a $9 electric pizzelle maker a few years ago at WalMart.
( yeah.... one of those cheap appliances everyone complains about )

Works great !

The booklet includes a basic pizzelle recipe.

I use that, and add a tsp or so
of different food flavorings to get a variety.

Real purists mix in a few shots of anisette....
( two for the batter, one for the maker )

Aw, thanks! My recipes for anise pizzelles and chocolate pizzelles
are at:

http://users.rcn.com/sue.interport/food/pizzell.html

Spoons should just keep in mind that a thicker batter makes a thicker,
softer cookie so keep it on the thinner side. Also, more fat means
more crispy!

Lead me not into temptation... I can find it myself!

Pizzelle irons can be used to make cannoli, without the mess of deep-frying.
Immediately after removing a pizzelle from the iron, it will be very
flexible, almost like a pancake. Quickly wrap it around a cannoli form, and
allow to cool. It will harden and become crispy. Slide the cannoli form out,
and then you can fill the pizzelle with your favorite cannoli filling. Much
better than regular cannoli, in my opinion.

My mother made pizzelles for all the holidays all her life with the old
hand iron, ONE AT A TIME.!!!!!

I broke down and bought an electric VillaWare Quattro....makes four at a
time...

Here's my Mom's recipe for the traditional version:

3 eggs
1 3/4 C all purp flour
1/2 tsp anise seed or 1/2 tsp extract or 1 Tbs of anisette liquor
1/2 C melted butter
2 tsp baking powder
1 tps pure vanilla

Southern Italian Version

6 eggs
7 cups all purp flour
2 C sugar
1 tsp anise seed
1 C melted butter, margerine or oil
$ Tbs baking powder
2 tsp vanilla

Happy eating..
