Pizzelle Recipe

Pizzelles are a delicious Italian wafer cookie that my grandmother made every year for Christmas! Light and crispy, these buttery vanilla pizzelles are great for the holidays, dessert, or anytime. Your family will gobble these right up.

Pizzelle Recipe

When my grandmother was alive we made pizzelles every holiday season. They are very easy to make and taste great.

Tips and variations for making this Pizzelle Recipe:

● 8 Tablespoons of Butter = 1 Stick in the United States
● You may substitute anise extract for the vanilla extract. We frequently made one batch of vanilla, one batch of anise, so those that preferred one flavor over the other got what they liked best.
● You do not have to sprinkle with powdered sugar.
● When you are making the pizzelles watch the baking time and do not assume it will remain the same. Usually, the first few would require more time and as the pizzelle maker (especially the stove one) heated up, the cooking time becomes shorter.
● These store for about 5-7 days.

Pizzelle Recipe Ingredients

● 2 cups Flour
● Pinch of Salt
● 2 tsp Baking Powder
● 3 Eggs
● ¾ cup Sugar
● 8 TBSP Butter, melted
● 1½ TBSP Vanilla Extract
● 1/8 cup Milk

Pizzelle Mise en Place:

● Measuring Spoons
● Measuring Cup
● Spatula
● Stand Mixer (bowl, beater, etc)
● Bowl(s)
● Pizzelle Maker
● Fork
● Spatula
● Airtight Container

Pizzelle Recipe Directions:

● Combine flour, salt, and baking powder in a medium bowl; set aside.
● Using a stand mixer, in a large mixing bowl combine eggs and sugar; mix well.
● In a small bowl, mix together melted butter, milk, and vanilla. Mix the butter mixture into your egg mixture.

● Slowly add your flour mixture to your mixing bowl egg mixture; combine until you have a thick batter.

● If you are using a stovetop pizzelle maker turn your burner on medium heat, place your pizzelle maker onto your burner to heat it up. If you are using an electric pizzelle maker follow manufacturer directions for optimal heat setting.
● Lightly spray your pizzelle maker with a non-stick cooking spray

● Place one tablespoon of batter in the center of your pizzelle maker, press together with your handles, and cook for 45 seconds to 1 minute. (You can open your pizzelle maker to check on the cooking pizzelle – which is wise for the first few you make.) Remove when cooked. Some will look perfectly yellow; some will have a slight browning. You just want to be certain they are not under-cooked or burnt.
● Place your cooked pizzelles onto a flat surface to cool.

● Sprinkle your pizzelles with a little powdered sugar if you like, and enjoy!
● Store in an airtight container lined with wax paper.
