Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 3 Eggs
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- Nonstick spray
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until light and fluffy, then add the melted butter (cooled slightly) and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth and thick.
Preheat a pizzelle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions and lightly coat it with nonstick spray.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of batter into the center of each pizzelle mold, close the lid, and cook until the pizzelles are golden and fully cooked (approximately 30-45 seconds).
Immediately remove each pizzelle from the pizzelle maker and gently press it into a small bowl or cupcake tin to form a cup shape. Let it cool and set for a few minutes.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter until all pizzelle cups are formed.
Once the pizzelle cups are fully cooled, fill them with your desired dessert toppings such as ice cream, whipped cream, fresh fruit, or custard.
