Been making pizzelles for over 30 years. Grandpa Antoci's recipe: 30 medium eggs beaten, 4 lbs of sugar mixed in, 2 lbs of melted and cooled butter mixed in, 2 Tbs anise extract 3 Tbs vanilla 5 lbs flour Mix everything well. No need to grease the iron or use baking powder. Makes about 260 cookies. This year made 6 batches for Christmas and even the old Italian women love the cookies!!!
You will find if you cut down on the flour you will get a crispy delicate Pizzelle that is not cake like. Also, use anise seed instead of extract for better flavor...Never beat flour like that just delicate folding once you add flour so cookies aren't tough
I'm having some store-bought pizzelles right now. Would love to try to make them. Looks pretty simple but I'd have to acquire an iron. Just curious why you using margarine and not butter?
Cindy Moore The family recipe we have for ours has to be used with a mixer because it’s such a large amount of ingredients. About 12 eggs and 4 cups of flour to put it in perspective. (That’s a lot I know, but a typical batch makes about 130-150 cookies so it’s a large amount!) It’s interesting to see how small other peoples recipes are.
I don’t believe they would work on a regular waffle iron. They need to be very thin and the pizzelle maker closes very tightly together as well as having a very shallow design grid. A waffle iron (even a regular non-Belgian one) is too deep.
Thank you so much.
I like them darker.
Great Recipe and Great Presentation on how to make the Pizzelles...Thanks for Sharing

Sounds great!
I make Gaufrettes recipe quite different
Margerine? Never! Butter only!
Real butter Be better

You need deeper bowls.
I love your recipe, so simple and easy. I’m going to give it a try

New subscriber..I’m making these for a bridal shower..needed this recipie doubled..thank you
They are easy to mix by hand. Don't know if mixer would create same consistency or not. My Italian relatives always mixed by hand!

It's a "Palmer" brand maker. I believe it's available at Amazon.
I like your cupboards. I'm waiting for my pizzelle maker to come. Great video on how to make them. What other flavorings have you used?
I typically stick with the traditional anise flavor but have tried chocolate, coconut and lemon before.
I stick with the traditional anise flavor but I've had chocolate, coconut and lemon as well.
I add 2 tablespoons maple syrup for flavouring.
Great video...love pizzelle 😄😄😄😄
Can you make them in a regular waffle iron?

@@cindymoore9925 thank you
Why do some people like to say Pizzelle wrong?
Italians pronounce the double “z” as a ‘t’ . How do you say pizza?
Perfect, tanks
so why don't you use a stand mixer?
what kind of maker are you using?
Ciao
