Ingredients
- 12 eggs
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 cups butter melted
- 3 tablespoons whiskey
- 3 tablespoons vanilla extract
- 5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
Instructions
- Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the eggs and sugar together until thick and pale in color, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the melted butter and beat until thoroughly combined and incorporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the whiskey and vanilla and beat to combine. Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the flour and baking powder, mixing until thoroughly combine and smooth.
- Follow the instructions of your pizzelle maker for cooking the pizzelle (this is the one I have). I drop 1 heaping tablespoon of batter using this scoop and then cook to desired doneness (about 1½ minutes for me, but time can vary based on machine and personal preference).
- Remove pizzelle from the machine using a thin spatula and transfer to a wire rack until cool. Serve plain or dusted with powdered sugar. Pizzelle can be stored in a container at room temperature for up to 1 month.
