This
recipe from my kitchen to yours is a flavoursome twist on a traditional Italian
specialty that has been passed down from generation to generation. As a Chef
and cook I love adding spices to many of my recipes, it adds another dimension
and allows for a subtle surprise.
Ingredients:
3 eggs
½ cup
white sugar
¼ cup
brown sugar
½ tsp
cinnamon
1tsp
ground ginger
¼ tsp
ground cloves
¼ tsp nutmeg
2 tbsp
molasses
½ cup
butter melted, cooled to room temperature
2 cups
all purpose flour
2 tsp
baking powder

1. Please
read Pizzelle Maker instructions prior to first time use.
2. In a
medium bowl sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg
and cloves.
3. In a separate
medium bowl whisk together, eggs, white sugar and brown sugar until
incorporated.
4. To
the egg mixture whisk in molasses and cooled melted butter. It is essential to
cool the butter in order to avoid cooking the eggs.
5. Add
the sifted dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and whisk until fully
combined. Make sure to use a spatula to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated
from the bottom of the bowl.
6. Heat
Pizzelle iron according to instructions. The iron is coated with a non-stick
material therefore, no non-stick spray will be necessary.
7. Place
1 generous tablespoon of ginger spice batter onto the centre of each Pizzelle
iron. Close Pizzelle iron and cook until golden (about 1 to 1 ½ minutes). The
Pizzelle will be soft at first, using a fork pull Pizzelle cookies out of iron
and place of a wire rack to cool and harden.
8. Store
in an airtight container and enjoy with an espresso or as a garnish on your
favorite gelato.
