Pizzelle di Natale.

A Christmas variation on the pizzella

This recipe uses the base recipe from Abruzzo!

Pizzelle di Natale.

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup white, granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup plus 2-1/2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 2 teaspoons anise extract
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • Non-pareil red and green sprinkles
  • Confectioner’s sugar (optional)
  1. Beat the eggs and sugar in a large bowl until light yellow in color. Whisk in the oil, extracts, and flour. Sprinkle in the sprinkles.
  2. Allow the batter to sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. Preheat a pizzelle iron. Take about 1 tablespoon of the batter per pizzella, and place it in each mold of the preheated iron. Cook for 20-30 seconds until firm but very light in color. Place on a wire rack to cool. Repeat the remaining batter, and enjoy with a sprinkle of confectioner’s sugar 🙂
