Equipment
- Pizzelle Iron
Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 cup butter melted and cooled
- 2 tablespoons vanilla extract or anise extract
- 3 1/2 cups Bob's Red Mill All Purpose Flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
Instructions
- Whisk eggs and sugar until smooth.
- Add melted butter and vanilla.
- Gradually add flour and baking powder. Mix until combined. The dough will be sticky and heavy.
- Heat pizzelle iron and lightly grease with cooking spray. Use a paper towel to wipe off excess oil.
- Drop dough in 1 tablespoon balls in the center of the iron. We use two spoons but you could also use a small cookie scoop. Shut iron and lock for 10-30 seconds. (Your iron may take less or more time, you'll have to test!) They should be golden brown.
- Open and remove cooked pizzelles by using a fork or butter knife to avoid burning your hands.
- Place cookies on cooling racks to cool - do not stack them until they are completely cooled. Do not put them on a baking sheet, they need to be on a cooling rack so the steam can evaporate.
- They will be slightly floppy when they come off the iron but they will crisp up!
- Before serving, dust with powdered sugar & enjoy!
