Vanilla Pizzelles

Author: Kathy Hester, Healthy Slow Cooking

Serves: 10 cookies

Pizzelles are beautiful thin cookies that delight your mouth with their crispness. These are made without dairy or egg unlike most traditional recipes. I made these vanilla, but you can change out the extract to customize them or add a teaspoon of cinnamon, cardamom, or even a pinch of cloves. You can read Kathy's full post here.

Ingredients

½ cup Maskal Teff™ Ivory Flour
½ cup powdered sugar
pinch salt
¼ cup unsweetened nondairy milk
1 Tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 2 tablespoons warm water
1 Tbsp melted coconut oil (or other mild oil)
1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Plug in your pizzelle maker and lightly spray the inside with a mild spray oil.
Mix the flour, powdered sugar and salt together in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Then mix the wet ingredients, milk through vanilla extract, in a measuring cup.
Add the wet to the dry and mix well. The batter will be a little thick.
By now, your pizzelle maker should be hot. Drop a tablespoon of batter in the center of each cookie indention in your maker. Mine makes 2 at a time, but some make 3.
Cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or as your pizzelle manual recommends, or until golden brown. (I found that just over 1 minute worked for my pizzelle maker, but will vary between makes and models.)
Carefully remove the cookie from the maker with a silicone spatula. The cookies will be pliable while warm, so you should place them on a wire rack to cool them.
Make the rest of the cookies by spraying oil, dropping tablespoons of batter, and repeat until all the batter is used.
