CHOCOLATE PIZZELLE FROM KING ARTHUR



Chocolate Pizzelle from King Arthur image

Chocolate pizzelle � a delicious variation on the usual almond, anise, and rum-flavored cookies. Snapping crisp yet tender, pizzelle are a must-have at any Italian celebration. Got this in an email from King Arthur Flour and sounds great. It'll be awhile before I can make it do to finding ingrediants here in Beijing - but want to save it until I can get back home. I hope you give it a try and enjoy. UPDATE: Finally had the chance to make these and they were so easy and really good - next time I think I'll make the 2-tone (as in step #5) ones with a rum flavor and see how that goes.

Categories     Dessert

Time 55m

Yield 28 Pizzelles, 28 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon espresso powder
3/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 2/3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup butter, melted

Steps:

  • Beat together the eggs, sugar, vanilla, espresso powder, and salt till smooth.
  • Add the cocoa and baking powder, again beating till smooth.
  • Add the flour, mixing till well combined. Add the melted butter, again mixing till well combined.
  • Bake pizzelle according to your pizzelle iron instructions. A tablespoon cookie scoop works well for scooping batter onto the iron; a level scoopful of batter is the right size for most standard pizzelle makers.
  • To make two-tone pizzelle: Prepare plain pizzelle batter, flavoring it with 1/2 teaspoon hazelnut flavor, if desired. Using a teaspoon scoop (which holds 2 level measuring teaspoons), drop a chestnut-sized ball of vanilla batter just below center in the cooking area of the pizzelle iron. Drop a slightly smaller ball of chocolate batter just above the center line, nestling it right next to the vanilla batter. Close the iron, and bake according to the manufacturer's directions.

Time 45m

Yield about 30

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
3 large eggs
3/4 cup granulated sugar

  • Preheat a pizzelle iron until a drop of water sizzles on the surface, about 10 minutes. Lightly brush the hot surface with vegetable oil.

PIZZELLE



Pizzelle image

Hailing from Abruzzo in Central Italy, pizzelle are crisp, flat waffle-esque cookies made in a special hot iron. Like mostaccioli, these cookies predate Christmas -- in fact, it is said that this is the oldest known cookie recipe on earth, dating back to the 8th century BC. In olden times, presses were made from cast iron and would be heated over a fire, or directly on the stovetop. You can still find those irons if you're up to the challenge, but electric irons are much easier to use, and very easy to find both online and at major retailers.

Time 1h55m

Yield 2 to 4 dozen cookies, depending on size of iron

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 teaspoon anise extract, optional
3 large eggs
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Whisk together the sugar, butter, milk, vanilla, anise extract if using and eggs in a large bowl. Add the flour, baking powder and salt, and continue to whisk until the batter is smooth. Allow to stand at room temperature for at least 1 hour so the batter can hydrate.
  • Heat the pizzelle iron, and cook your pizzelles according to the manufacturer's directions.

GLUTEN FREE PIZZELLE ITALIAN TYE PLATES



Gluten Free Pizzelle Italian Tye Plates image

This is my grandmas recipe for tye plates, the only thing I changed was the all purpose free flour to my gluten free flour blend. Note I used any where from 1 1/4 to 1 3/4 flour blend, as this thickens and gets sticker as it sits.... so the thinner the better. Also with the winter weather these flours and starches absorb with...

Provided by andrea collins

Categories     Cookies

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 large eggs
1 1/4 c white sugar
3/4 c canola oil
1 1/2 c all purpose gluten free flour blendgluten free all purpose flour blend
3 Tbsp anise extract

Steps:

  • 1. Beat eggs until thick and lemony coloured
  • 2. Add in the sugar beating until thick
  • 3. Add in the oil continue whipping in
  • 4. Add in the extract and flour blend to recipe and beat well. When adding in the flour as the note above states, start with the 1 1/4 blend, as this thickens and gets sticker as it sits. My regular recipe calls for 1 3/4 reg flour. Yesterday made these and I used 1 1/2 cups blend. Turned out very very good.
  • 5. I usually let this stand for a half hour or so, and when I do that they seem to stay crisper longer. You dont have to do that with gluten free
  • 6. Preheat and oil your machine, so its ready to go.
  • 7. Place a teaspoonful on griddle and bake about 30 seconds, or until the colour you like.
  • 8. Remove to rack and cool completely before stacking.
  • 9. Place when cooled in a sealed tightly container. I use old coffee cans to store .

Tips:

  • Use the right tools: A pizzelle maker is essential for making pizzelles. You can also use a waffle iron, but the pizzelles will not be as crispy.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the pizzelles will taste. Use real butter, eggs, and milk.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the pizzelles tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Cook the pizzelles until they are golden brown: The pizzelles should be cooked until they are golden brown and crispy. If they are not cooked long enough, they will be soft and chewy.
  • Let the pizzelles cool before serving: Let the pizzelles cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help them to set and become crispy.

Conclusion:

Pizzelles are a delicious and versatile cookie that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, and holiday gatherings. With a little practice, you can make perfect pizzelles at home. So what are you waiting for? Start baking!
