Discover the Delicious Pizzelle Cookie

!±8± Discover the Delicious Pizzelle Cookie

Pizzelle is an Italian waffle cookie that is especially popular around Easter and Christmas. They are fairly large, at around five inches, and are usually made one or two at a time. It is traditionally made with a pizzelle maker, similar to a waffle iron, held by hand over a stove burner. With the creation of electric irons, they are becoming a popular snack for people who lack the time to prepare them in the old fashioned way. The irons leave a snowflake pattern on the cookies.

If you are going to make these cookies by hand, you'll need flour, sugar, eggs, and butter, margarine, or vegetable oil. You'll also need flavoring. Common flavorings include anise, vanilla, lemon zest, chocolate, cinnamon, and orange. If you don't have the time or inclination to cook but still want fresh cookies, you can also buy a pizzelle mix. In some grocery stores, you can buy premade pizzelles.

There are many comparable cookies in various regions. Krumkakes from Norway are quite similar. The pizzelle is thought to be based on the crustulum, which is an ancient Roman cookie. Although pizzelle is the most common name, in the Lazio, Italy area they are called ferratelle and in Molise they might also be called cancelle.

Pizzelles can be eaten in a variety of ways. Sometimes they are had as flat cookies. They are often crunchy, but they can also be prepared in a way to make them chewy and soft. A wooden dowel can be used when they are fresh to roll the pastry into a cone shape. This pastry can then be filled with cannoli cream or another filling. A filling can also be spread on them while flat to make a sandwich cookie.

While they can be eaten year round, they are mostly known for special occasions. These include the Christmas season and Easter weekend. Italian weddings are also a common place where these are found. However, since technology makes it easier to cook fresh ones at home with little effort, they are gaining popularity as a treat that can be eaten at any time.

Though they may always be most prevalent in Italian households, they are gaining mainstream appeal. If local grocery stores don't carry them prepackaged, they can always be purchased over the internet. Pizzelle bakers have made it simply for anyone to make up a stack of cookies on a Sunday morning. They are good both fresh and after they have cooled.

Making Ice Cream Cones With Pizzelle Makers

!±8± Making Ice Cream Cones With Pizzelle Makers

Pizzelles are a tasty Italian treat usually made from flour, sugar, and eggs. Most people will recognize them from family traditions around the holidays or from the outside of a cannoli. (Cannolis have a pizzelle on the outside and are rolled with a cream on the inside.) But, one of the best ways to eat a pizzelle is to have it as an ice cream cone.

To make a pizzelle cone you must first make a pizzelle. Pizzelles can be made on a pizzelle iron or pizzelle maker. Most pizzelle makers are electric and very simple to use. You make the dough, as shown in the recipe that follows, then you put some of the batter on the pizzelle maker. Next, you should close the top of the pizzelle maker down on the dough, and wait for approximately one minute. Once the pizzelle stops steaming, you can open the maker and your pizzelle is done. If you've ever made waffles in a waffle maker, you will find making a pizzelle to be very simple.

To make the pizzelle into a cone you must do the following:

Immediately after the pizzelle comes off the pizzelle maker: use a pizzelle cone roller to roller the pizzelle into an cream cone shape. Then pinch the seem together. (Warning, the pizzelle cone will be hot.)

Let the ice cream cone cool on a cooling rack. Let harden. Once it's hard you will be able to put ice cream in the pizzelle and have your very own ice cream cone.

Here's one of the best recipes I've found for making pizzelles into ice cream cones: (Makes 3-6 cones)

1/4 cup butter

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 egg whites

3/4 cups confectioners sugar

1/8 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. vanilla

Step 1: Melt butter and place aside and cool.

Step 2: Beat egg whites until stiff.

Step 3: Into egg whites, fold in confectioners sugar, salt and vanilla. Then fold in flour.

Step 4: Fold cooled butter into mixture.

Step 5: Preheat pizzelle maker: Place 1/4 cup of mixture into maker.

Step 6: When done cooking, roll into ice cream cone.

In these easy 6 steps you can have your own homemade ice cream cone made with a pizzelle maker.
