Pizzelli

Here is a recipe handed down by my mother in law, they are so popular with everyone, and a traditional recipe from her home town in Italy. You can use a hot waffle iron on the gas stove top or an electric waffle maker. You can just eat them as they are or sandwich together with custard. They are the best and they're always at the table at just about every celebration we have together as a family. Some like them soft and some like them crunchy, take you pick or try make both.
