Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a medium bowl, whisk the 3 eggs and 0.75 cup sugar until light and frothy, about 2 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Stir in the 0.5 cup melted butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until combined.

  3. Step 3

    Add the 1.5 cups flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder, mixing until just smooth—no lumps remain.

  4. Step 4

    Preheat your pizzelle iron. Drop 1 tablespoon of batter onto the center of each pattern, close, and cook until golden and crisp, about 1-2 minutes per batch.

  5. Step 5

    Remove with a fork and cool on a wire rack—they crisp as they cool. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
