Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 4 large Eggs
- 115 grams Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 100 grams Hazelnut flour or finely ground toasted hazelnuts
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, hazelnut flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer or whisk until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the melted and cooled butter and vanilla extract to the egg mixture. Mix well to combine.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until a smooth batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Preheat your pizzelle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of batter onto the center of each pizzelle plate. Close the lid and cook according to the pizzelle maker's directions, usually about 30-60 seconds, or until golden brown.
Carefully remove the pizzelle using a spatula and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. If a crispier texture is desired, allow them to cool in a single layer without stacking.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the pizzelle maker lightly if necessary.
Store the cooled pizzelle in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
