IRON FROM and what it actually looks like, how it works infact any other information about it. This is used for the traditional thin, crisp, Italian cookies called pizelle, and is made of two round, cast-aluminum, embossed disks hinged together and attached to long handles for use on top of either gas or electric stoves. The cookie can be left flat, rolled, or shaped into cups and either filled or eaten plain.
Many people prefer the electric version of the pizelle iron, which, of course, is more expensive.
Add the butter, vanilla, and lemon peel and stir until blended. Sift together the flour and baking powder and fold into mixture. Heat the pizelle iron on both sides. Remove from heat. Brush lightly with butter and place about 1 tablespoon of batter on one side of the iron.
