What a sweety! Thanks for your labor of love! She showed me some new tips, like the bubble wrap, and how she sifts her dry ingreds and puts it in the bowl with paper. Great idea!

Thank you. I just bought an old (antique?) pizzelle iron at a garage sale. I learned a lot from your video, but how do you use the old style iron?

Love this! Your grandmother reminds me of my grandpop... they could talk every minute of every day if they wanted to! What a great video to have.

This is a wonderful family tradition ! I make them every Christmas for my family and a few friends - they don't last long as they get gobbled up quickly. I can't wait to get my iron out this holiday season. Your Aunt is amazing - God bless her.

Thanks very much. She is quite a character. There was over 6 hours of footage that I cut down to these 4 minutes and she talked the entire time, 6 hours straight.

Make sure your iron is really hot, the first few pizzelle's will be somewhat white in color, as the iron gets up to temperature they will cook quicker and un less than two minutes, don't burn them!

This recipe comes from my grandmother, there is no baking powder, there for they are thin and very crispy!

1. 12 eggs

2. one pound of margerum (4 sticks) melted and cooled.

3. 2-1/2 to 3-cups of sugar

4. 1 tbl. spoon of good vanilla extract

5. 1/2 tsp. of anise oil (optional)

6. 2 tbl. spoons of anise seeds

7. pinch of salt

8. 3 1/2 cups of sifted flour

In a large mixing bowl, combine melted margerum,eggs and sugar, mix well till smooth add anise seeds.

Part 2

add salt and vanilla continue to mix till smooth, sift in one cup of flour at a time, mix well, then repeat. After all ingredients are combined thias batter stiffens as the gluten in the flour beging to expand, yo want to wait at least five minutes after you mixed the batter to see what the consistancy is like, you want to be able to spoon the batter on to the pizzelle iron, some people like it to be firmer, this batter will ooz of of the spoon slowly, enjoy!

Thank you so much for this! Auntie Angie is so cute and a great cook to boot! This has really helped to make pizzelles less intimidating. Thanks again!

What a sweetie to do this for youtube. I'm going to try this.

[justgroup]

Great little video. So glad that you were able to get the 'chef's' verbal directions. I'm sure there are lots of us who wish we could have done things like this before...

Please tell the 'chef' to turn the mixer on stir or shut it off before adding flour..then there will be no cleanup! Very enjoyable.

Wooops, sorry, your aunt...

[abbeydoo]

Thanks! Purchased pizzelle iron and can't wait till it arrives! Will use this recipe. Your Grama is so cute. I was laughing along with her with the flour going all over. Great to see the how the batter looks, etc. This video is a gem. Thanks again!
