Italy is known for many things, including pastries and cookies. Every Italian household has made the classic "pizzelle" at some point, and we are going to make them today using my mother's recipe. So quick and easy, 15 minutes is all you need and they are such a good treat. Great for children and adults - enjoy!
A traditional, classic Italian cookie “Pizzelle”
Recipe makes 12 - 15, 5” pizzelle
Ingredients:
• 260 gm flour (i.e 2 cups)
• 1 TSP baking powder
• 3 Large Eggs
• 2/3 cup sugar (you can use more or less, to taste)
• 2 TSP Vanilla Extract
• 1/3 cup grapeseed or vegetable oil
• 1 tsp Anise extract (Optional) (or use optional Anise liquor)
Process:
• Add the baking powder to the flour, mix, set aside
• In a different bowl, add the eggs and sugar, beat for 2 - 3 minutes (hand blender works great)
• Add the vanilla, oil, and optional anise extract, and beat till all incorporated (about 15 seconds should do it)
• Add your flour mixture to the bowl and blend together using a spatula or wooden spoon, until all flour is incorporated and absorbed, creating a batter.
• Preheat your pizzelle maker
• Once it’s ready, add a heaping TBSP of your batter to each pizzelle pattern, close lid and cook anywhere for 1 minute to 1 ½ minutes, depending on the color and darkness you prefer
• Remove, and place on a cooling rock - OR - if you want to shape them, then shape them immediately, while they are hot
• Serves as is, or sprinkle icing sugar on top
• Enjoy

Just bought my pizzelle iron and can't wait for it to arrive so I can try your recipe. My foster mom growing up was from Sardinia and she and I made these a lot! Haven't had them in years but great way to visit the past :)

These are my most favourite cookies ever, even though you can buy them, nope not the same. Over the years I have had homemade ones wonderful. They also make a nice ice cream sandwich.

It's always interesting to me to see how many nations have similar recipes, like all the flat breads etc. I have a Krumkake iron from Norway which would be a lot like the pizzelle iron.

I’m 💯 Italian, grew up in little Italy Michigan. Never had one or even heard of these- how awful is that! I purchased a machine so going to make them for Christmas for my neighbors and family. Never too late to honor my heritage. Plan on adding lemon zest and skip the anise. Tfs

@CookingwiththeCoias Жыл бұрын

Wow...can't believe you never heard of pizzelle but so glad you are going to make them and keep the tradition going. They are so tasty and you can omit the anis al together and there's no need to add the lemon zest, unless you want to make lemon pizzelle :) And by the way, they are quick and fun to make :) :) :)

All alcohol will dissipate during cooking using either the extract or the liqueur, leaving just the flavor in your finished pizzelle!

I came across your video & I have been looking for a pizzelle maker. Do you recommend the Cucina maker? I see there are non stick & regular (no stick). I was not sure what would work best. Your pizzelle look amazing. Thank you for sharing.

That's the brand I was using and I'm happy with it :)

Bee, you can use any pizzelle iron that you like or have - the results will be the same. 😊 Just to let you know. Good luck 🤞 😊

Is your pizzelle maker one that makes the cookie thin and crisp.

@CookingwiththeCoias 2 жыл бұрын

...they are thin, but not the thinnest (I would say they are just slightly thicker than the thinnest) and as for crisp, just cook them a few seconds more, and then just store them on an uncovered plate, and they will stay hard and crispy and they are such a great snack - excellent with coffee or tea or just as a simple dessert :)

What is the difference between recipes I see with butter vs oil? I was reading that oil makes them thinner.

@CookingwiththeCoias 7 ай бұрын

Oil is also the traditional Italian way 🙂

For how long I can keep them and stay crispy?

@CookingwiththeCoias 11 ай бұрын

if kept dry and in a paper bag, they will stay crispy for at least 1 - 2 weeks :)

there is no T why does everyone pronounce it with the T?

@gracehesketh9928 7 ай бұрын

Pizzelle. You pronounce every vowel in the Italian language. How rude to me! A true Italian 😢 I'ts not Pizzel. It's P i z z e l l e.

Sorry but this is not the Italian pizzelle recipe with which I grew up in a small predominately town. This one is awful...

@CookingwiththeCoias 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Nancy - good to hear from you. This is the recipe I grew up with and it's very good - I understand based on your comment that it is not the same as the one you grew up with, but if you get a chance, and you are interested in trying something different that the one you grew up with, give this one a try. If not, no worries and thanks again for talking time to write PS> feel free to share your recipe with us....interested to see the differences :)
