Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat your pizzelle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. This typically takes about 5-10 minutes.

02

Step
2 mins

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg, and allspice until well combined. This ensures the spices are evenly distributed. (2 minutes)

03

Step
4 mins

In a separate large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the sugar and eggs together until light and fluffy. (3 minutes) Add the melted and cooled butter, continuing to beat until fully incorporated. (1 minute) Then, add the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract, mixing until the batter is smooth and uniform. (2 minutes)

04

Step
2 mins

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on medium speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough pizzelle. (5 minutes)

05

Step
3 mins

Carefully drop a tablespoon of batter onto each section of the preheated pizzelle iron. Close the iron and bake until the pizzelle are golden brown, typically 30-40 seconds. For a deeper color and crispier texture, bake for a few seconds longer.

06

Step
1 mins

Gently remove the pizzelle from the iron using a fork or thin spatula and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. (1 minute)

07

Step
40 mins

If desired, dust the cooled pizzelle with confectioners' sugar before serving. This adds a touch of sweetness and visual appeal. (2 minutes)

For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of melted butter.
If your batter is too thick, add a tablespoon of milk or water at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
Store cooled pizzelle in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
For a festive touch, dip the cooled pizzelle in melted white or dark chocolate and sprinkle with chopped nuts or sprinkles.
Make sure your pizzelle iron is hot enough, or the pizzelle will stick. Lightly spray the iron with cooking spray before each batch to prevent sticking.
For a different flavor profile, try adding a pinch of ground cloves or ginger to the spice mixture.

    My pizzelle iron is a bit old, so I had to adjust the baking time slightly, but they still turned out great!

  • Karianne Boyle

    I accidentally overmixed the batter, and my pizzelle were a little tough. Be careful not to overmix!

    Next time, I'm going to try dipping them in chocolate – sounds delicious!
