Another yummy tradition, we like to have each Christmas are Italian cookies called Pizzelles. My mom usually makes these each year but I thought it was time I put my Pizzelle iron to use. It's been sitting in my appliance graveyard for about 7 years.
Want to make your own? Here's how:
Ingredients:
6 eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup margarine (cooled and melted)
1 1/2 tsp anise
scant Tbsp vanilla
*My mom uses a tbsp of anise and a tbsp of vanilla. You can also make them without the anise if you don't like that flavor. They're not quite the same though.
Mix in:
3 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
Directions:
Oil iron to start.
Batter will sticky enough to drop by spoon; drop a scant tsp on hot iron for 30 seconds.
Clip iron for thinner cookies.
*You can let them cool flat or while they're warm you can roll them (like a cannoli shell). They taste great sprinkled with powdered sugar.
