Pizzelle Maker (Sorta OT)

[Guest guest]

Does anyone make these? My daughter came to visit me this past weekend and

brought her pizzelle maker. These are sooooo good. We made the basic

pizzelle recipe out of half of the batter and added mini chocolate chips to the

other half. They can be flavored with anise, orange, vanilla, almond and I

guess whatever else strikes your fancy and can be shaped into cones or bowls

while still warm to hold ice cream or fresh fruit...really very

versatile....light, crisp...heavenly...a nice summer dessert. I was hooked,

and today I

ordered a refurbished Cuisinart pizzelle maker for only $15.00 from Amazon. At

that price, I knew it had my name on it. :-)

Well, they do take time to make since you can only do two at a time, but my

daughter did half and I did the other half and we were done very quickly even

with doubling the recipe. Each one takes less than a minute.

 

This recipe is from the Cuisinart recipe book that came with the pizzelle

maker. They're all pretty much the same I think.

 

1 3/4 cups all purpose flour

2 tspns. baking powder

3 large eggs

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup butter, melted

1 tablespn. vanilla or anise extract

 

Place the flour and baking powder in a small bowl and stir to combine,

reserve. Place eggs and sugar in a medium bowl. With a hand mixer (we used a

whisk and it worked fine) mix on medium speed for one minute until mixture is

thickened. On low speed, add the melted butter and vanilla in a steady stream

and mix until combined. Add the flour mixture and mix until just combined.

Bake according to your particular machine.

I have a pizzelle maker and used it exactly once. I thought they were too much

trouble. Can you share your recipe? Maybe mine wasn't as good as yours. It's

funny

you should mention the pizzelle maker as I had thought of mine only a few days

ago

and hadn't thought of it in several years! I guess maybe Dairy Queen's constant

commercials about their new waffle cone baskets made me think of it.

Thank you for sending the recipe. It just might make me drag it out and make

some

again.
