3. Preheat the Pizzelle Press in the closed
position with the browning control
adjustment set to desired doneness.
4. Once the green indicator light illuminates,
use the measuring scoop to dollop batter
onto the center of each pizzelle circle. Close
cover and lock to begin the cooking time.
The green indicator light will turn off and
re-illuminate when pizzelle are ready. Use
silicone-tipped tongs to remove the pizzelle
and carefully transfer to a flat cooling rack.
Repeat with remaining batter.
NOTE: This recipe is perfect for making
cannoli shells: They have to be formed
immediately after removing from the plates,
so be quick. Use the included rolling dowel
to form into a cylindrical shape, like a tunnel.
Allow to rest, seam side down, until set
and crispy.

HAZELNUT PIZZELLE
For a variation, substitute the hazelnuts with
pecans, walnuts or pistachios. For Chocolate
Marble Nut Pizzelle, add 2 ounces very finely
chopped bittersweet or semisweet chocolate to
the batter.
Makes 28 pizzelle
1¾ cups unbleached, all-purpose flour
½ cup finely ground, blanched hazelnuts
(2 ounces)*
2
teaspoons baking powder
3 large eggs
¾ cup granulated sugar
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter,
melted and cooled to room temperature
1 tablespoon hazelnut liqueur
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1. Put the flour, ground hazelnuts and baking
powder into a small bowl and whisk to com-
bine; reserve.
2.
Put the eggs and sugar into a medium bowl.
Using a hand mixer, mix until thickened. While
mixing on low, gradually add the melted butter
hazelnut liqueur and vanilla extract and mix
until combined, about 15 seconds. Add the
flour mixture and blend until just combined,
about 10 to 15 seconds; do not overmix.
(Alternately, this can be done by hand with
a whisk – be sure there are no lumps in
the batter.)

before mixing with other ingredients.
