Pizzelle Notes and Tips:
- Don't add the candy until after the batter is completely mixed and you are ready to start making the cookies. For the prettiest presentation it's best if you only mix it into half the batter and make those cookies, then mix it into the remaining batter.
- You might hear a little "crunching" as you close the press, it's ok-trust me, I've done this before:@)
- To make your pizzelles a little lighter and crispier, replace 3 Tblsp of flour with corn starch. I add it to my 1 C measure before I top it off with flour.
- Always a good idea to sift your dry ingredients for pizzelles.
- I did try the "jimmy" type sprinkles (like you'd add to ice cream) and don't recommend them, they are a little thick/soft, didn't look too pretty and stuck to the pizzelle maker.
- I've been making pizzelles with nonpareils for years, in all colors for all occasions, and they are always very popular!
i wish i had a pizzelles maker ... always enjoyed the cookies so. yummy good. so pretty as well. ( :
ReplyDeleteVery pretty Lynn, do you have the batter recipe in your archives?
ReplyDeleteYep, there are a couple in my recipe index. I used the vanilla one but added an additional 1/2 tsp anise-very good:@)
DeleteI love this with the red and green sugars! I'll have to locate my pizzelle maker and give it a try.
ReplyDeleteBest,

My aunt made us pizzelles every year at Christmas and I loved them. I got a pizzelle maker a few years ago and have yet to use it. I think it is time to master the fine art of pizzelle making! Love the peppermint idea.
ReplyDeleteYou are brilliant! I make pizzelles every year and never thought of adding anything :)
ReplyDeleteLove this idea. I guess I am going to have to break down and get a pizzelle maker. I always love eating them when I am somewhere where they are served.
ReplyDeleteThose are certainly neat, Lynn.
ReplyDeleteXO,

Your pizzelles look so pretty, Lynn. I'm going to a Cookie Festival or Cookie Walk tomorrow and am really looking forward to it. After that, my good friend and I are going to a church where there are 300 nativities on display. I really love the fun things we can do this time of year. Of course I'll do a little cooking/baking/candy making on my own as well. You and your blog are an inspiration, Lynn. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI bet they are popular. I could eat a few myself.

ReplyDeleteYour pizzeles look so festive, Lynn. I'm looking forward to getting out my pizzelle maker and making some. I'll have to give the nonpareils I try because they look so pretty.
ReplyDeleteHi Lynn, these cookies look so beautiful. I love the colors in the batter. A very festive idea. I have never made these but I would love to try.
