Serving Size: 6

Cooking Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

• 6 Whole eggs
• 1.5 Cups (c) white sugar
• 1 Cup (c) butter, melted
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) lemon zest, zested
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) vanilla extract
• 3.5 Cups (c) all-purpose flour
• 4 Teaspoons (tsp) baking powder

Steps

1. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with an electric mixer until they are light and frothy. This will help create a lighter texture in the pizzelles.
2. Gradually add the sugar to the eggs, continuing to beat until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
3. Stir in the melted butter, lemon zest, and vanilla extract, ensuring all ingredients are well combined.
4. Sift together the flour and baking powder to ensure even distribution, then gradually fold them into the wet ingredients. Mix until a smooth batter forms.
5. Preheat your pizzelle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
6. Drop a teaspoonful of batter onto the center of each pattern on the pizzelle iron. Close the lid and cook for about 30 seconds, or until the pizzelles are golden brown. Adjust the cooking time as needed based on your iron's temperature.
7. Carefully remove the pizzelles from the iron using a spatula and place them on wire racks to cool completely. This will help them crisp up as they cool.
8. Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar if desired, and serve. Enjoy your Lemon Vanilla Pizzelle Delight with a hot beverage of your choice!
