\"Vanilla<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We finally got some snow here in the Midwest, pretty much our first real snow and it’s mid-January!  The kids also had their first snow day, which is always fun. The delicate snow-covered trees got me thinking about pizzelles, which are light little Italian cookies that look a lot like snowflakes and go perfect with hot cocoa<\/a> after playing in the snow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is one of those recipes that requires a new little gadget, a pizzelle press<\/a> (ok, twist my arm). My mom passed along a vintage krumkake maker<\/a>, a seriously troublesome device that presses batter and is held over a hot burner to bake.  After burning the heck out of my fingers and cookies, saying too many bad words cursing the hearty and stoic Norwegians, I broke down and bought an electric machine. It works like a charm, and my cookies are beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This batter is easiest to make in a food processor, but can be mixed by hand.  Regular flour works as well as cake flour, but the cookies are far lighter with cake flour.  Now I’ve opened up a whole new world of fun cookies to explore: next up cannelloni, stroopwafel, krumkake…<\/p>\n\n\nPrint<\/a><\/span>
