Weekend Dessert: Vanilla Pizzelle


Ingredients:

3 large eggs
3/4 c. sugar
1 stick unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 T. pure vanilla extract
1 3/4 c. all-purpose flour, sifted
2 t. baking powder

Directions:
Beat eggs and sugar in a mixing bowl approximately 2 to 3 minutes, until they're fluffy and a light yellow color.
Slowly drizzle in melted and cooled butter and add vanilla extract.
Using a spatula, fold in flour and baking powder just until incorporated into the wet ingredients.
Bake one tablespoon per mold in pizzelle maker until golden brown, about 30 seconds. Remove and cool on rack.

A great alternative would be chocolate pizzelle simply by adding chocolate to the batter. Also Top with fresh strawberries and whip cream for a fun and delicous pizzella treat.
