Pizzelle Maker - Electric Baker for Two 5-Inch Cookies - Includes Recipe Guide - Easy Party Treats - Perfect Gift for Her

This Electric Pizzelle Maker, a polished press, allows you to create two 5-inch cookies at once, with included recipes to guide you. Pizzelle, a traditional Italian treat, are waffle-like cookies made from a combination of flour, eggs, sugar, butter or oil, and various flavors such as vanilla, anise, or lemon zest. Depending on the ingredients used and how they are prepared, these cookies can range from hard and crisp to soft and chewy. Originating in Ortona, located in the Abruzzo region of southern Italy, the name "pizzelle" derives from the Italian words for "round" and "flat" (pizze), similar to the meaning of the word "pizza." Numerous other cultures have their own versions of pizzelle, such as the Norwegian Krumkake, making it one of the earliest known cookies. In the Lazio region of Italy, pizzelle are referred to as ferratelle, while in Molise they may be known as ferratelle, cancelle, or simply pizzelle.

When preparing pizzelle, the dough or batter is placed in a pizzelle iron that imprints a snowflake pattern on both sides of the cookie. Once cooled, the result is a thin, golden-brown cookie with a crisp texture. Pizzelle can also be shaped into cannoli and filled with an orange-almond crème, making them a popular choice during Christmas and Easter, as well as at Italian weddings alongside other traditional pastries such as cannoli and Italian cookies. It is not uncommon to find pizzelle paired with cannoli cream or hazelnut spread, with some recipes involving rolling warm pizzelle with a wooden dowel to create cannoli shells.

This Pizzelle Maker Machine produces two perfect Italian pizzelles at once, with included recipes to get you started. Before baking your first batch, remember to brush the entire surface with vegetable oil or melted shortening. The cookies measure at an ideal 5 inches, making them a perfect size for enjoying on their own or for use in cannolis or cones. The polished surface of the baking plates ensures that each pizzelle will have a beautifully designed pattern. Simply place a teaspoon of batter in the center of each design, and allow the batter to spread evenly once the pizzelle maker is closed shut.

Equipped with a steam guard for safety and extra-thick baking plates for even heat distribution, this Electric Pizzelle Press is a kitchen essential. Its dual functionality makes it a great housewarming gift or a perfect present for someone's first home or apartment. Portable and easy to clean, simply wipe the cooking grids with a paper towel to absorb any oil or butter residue. When cleaning the exterior, use a damp cloth only, avoiding abrasive scouring pads or steel wool to protect the finish. Avoid immersing the maker in water or placing it in the dishwasher.
