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.

  • Use a pizzelle iron that is hot enough: The ideal temperature for baking pizzelles is between 350 and 400 degrees Fahrenheit. If the iron is too cool, the pizzelles will not cook properly.
  • Bake the pizzelles for the correct amount of time: The baking time will vary depending on the thickness of the dough and the temperature of the iron. Bake the pizzelles until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Use a variety of toppings: Pizzelles can be topped with a variety of ingredients, such as powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, Nutella, or fruit preserves. Get creative and experiment with different flavor combinations.
