How to make the Perfect Pizzelles!

The reason that Pizzelles are such a wonderful food is that they are light, sweet, and remind me of happy times. Pizzelles are an Italian pastry. My dad is Italian and my mom learned to make these when they got married. My mom makes them for us and they are one of my favorite things that she makes. People that would be interested in this instructable are anyone that are fans of pastries. This instructable is to provide the recipe, ingredients, and cooking instructions. Pizzelles will make your taste buds dream that you took a trip to Italy.

Summary

Make sure readers pay special attention to correctly measuring the ingredients so that the pizzelles turn out awesome.

Also, readers should make sure if they make the pizzelles that they pay attention to using the pizzelle maker. I like my pizzelles lightly browned but if you leave them on the pizzelle maker longer, they can get a lot darker. It’s personal preference as to how light or dark you want your pizzelles. I learned that these pizzelles are not only delicious but they are pretty simple to make. I did not have any challenges while making the pizzelles. My mom helped me with getting the right ingredients out of the pantry.
