Making Pizzelles

My Great Aunt Angie, 90, has been making pizzelles for over 50 years. Here she gives her recipe as she prepares the batter and presses a batch of cookies. Then she shows how she packs them up in a coffee can, lined with bubble wrap, to ship them to relatives all over the country.

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.

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?
