Delicious and so very simple, ferratelle can also be topped with jam, honey, hazelnut or chocolate spread or any other sweet sauce or topping. Here is our traditional recipe for making the perfect crispy and thin pizzelle your whole family will love.
Either by hand with a whisk or with an electric mixer, mix the ingredients and then add the oil a little at a time. The mixture must appear thick and homogeneous, not too runny.
Let the batter rest for half an hour and then proceed to cooking.
Lightly grease the pizzelle iron or waffle maker with a little butter (you can also use vegetable oil cooking spray if desired).
Heat the iron on the stove and when it is hot and the butter has melted, fill it in the center with a spoonful of the dough.
Close the pizzelle maker well and cook the pizzelle for 20-30 seconds or until each side is golden brown and crisp.
Remove the pizzelles with the help of a fork or other utensil and put them aside on a wire cooling rack. Each pizzelle can be enjoyed by itself or sweetened with powdered sugar, jam, chocolate spread or even whipped cream.
