THE VERY BEST PIZZELLE RECIPE
Steps:
- Preheat the pizzelle iron.
- With a hand mixer, beat the eggs and sugar in a large bowl until light in color and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Add the vanilla, lemon zest and butter. Beat until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
- Fold the dry ingredients, a little bit at a time, into the egg mixture until just incorporated and the batter is smooth.
- Place 1 heaping tablespoon of batter in the center of the design on the pizzelle iron. Close the iron to press the dough flat and bake until golden brown, approximately 1 minute. (Cooking times may vary depending on your appliance, please adjust accordingly.)
- Using a spatula, remove the cookie from the iron and transfer to a rack to cool.

Steps:
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg in a large bowl; make a well in the center. In another large bowl, whisk the eggs, granulated sugar, maple sugar, vegetable oil and maple extract until well combined. Pour the egg mixture into the well in the flour mixture and whisk until incorporated.
- Preheat a pizzelle iron until a drop of water sizzles on the surface, about 10 minutes. Lightly brush the hot surface with vegetable oil. Spoon about 1 tablespoon batter into the center of the imprint (if you have a pizzelle iron with more than one imprint, fill each with 1 tablespoon batter). Close the iron and cook until there is no more steam coming out, about 45 seconds.
- Open and remove the pizzelle from the iron using a small offset spatula and transfer to a rack to cool (the pizzelle will crisp as they cool). Repeat with the remaining batter, lightly brushing the iron with more vegetable oil occasionally. Lightly dust the pizzelle with confectioners' sugar before serving.

Close the lid, and cook until steam no longer comes out, about 1 1/2 minutes. Check, and adjust cooking time if necessary. Carefully remove cookies, cool, and store in an airtight tin at room temperature.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar until thick. Stir in the melted butter and vanilla. Sift together the flour and baking powder, and blend into the batter until smooth.
- Heat the pizzelle iron, and brush with oil. Drop about one tablespoon of batter onto each circle on the iron. You may need to experiment with the amount of batter and baking time depending on the iron. Bake for 20 to 45 seconds, or until steam is no longer coming out of the iron. Carefully remove cookies from the iron. Cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
- For chocolate pizzelles, add 1/4 cup cocoa sifted together with flour and baking powder, 1/4 cup more sugar and 1/4 teaspoon more baking powder. I find that for the chocolate mixture, the iron must be well oiled to start and then brush on more as needed.

PIZZELLE
This recipe was adapted from one that my Italian-born mother and grandmother followed. They used old irons on a gas stove, but now we have the convenience of electric pizzelle irons. These delectable cookies are still a traditional treat in our family. —Elizabeth Schwartz, Trevorton, Pennsylvania
