pizzelle chef







today i dropped by the flea market, and i found this pizzelle maker!!! i've been wanting one for a few years now, and i can't believe i got it for $6! i cleaned it up a bit - and now it looks new + shiny. i just made some pizzelle's (it's too dark right now to take a picture of them) but here is the recipe.

ingredients:
3 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 3/4 cup flour
1/2 cup butter (melted + cooled)
1 tsp vanilla
2 tsp anise seed (i'm going to try anise extract next time)

directions:
1. beat the eggs + sugar until thick. then stir in the butter, vanilla + anise.
2. sift (important!) flour + baking powder and then blend into the batter until smooth.
3. drop by the spoonful into the center of your pizzelle iron.
4. wait about 25-45 seconds and then remove from the iron to cool.
5. sprinkle with some powdered sugar (optional).
