Pizzelle-Italian Tradition

Pizzelle-Italian Tradition

This requires a pizzelle iron, similar to a waffle iron in appearance. Makes thin wafer-like cookies with snowflake designs, an Italian tradition for Christmas or anytime.

Yield:
1 1/2 dozen
Servings:
6

Ingredients

  • 6 eggs
  • 1 ½ cups white sugar
  • 1 cup butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder

Directions

Step 1
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with an electric mixer until light. Add the sugar, butter, lemon zest and vanilla, mix well. Stir in the flour and baking powder.
