It is that time of the year ....again. Friends always want me to make pizzels for them, for the holidays. Iusually make a double recipe..makes about 4-1/2 dozen. They always go over great at party's and holiday gatherings. These are extra thin, extra crisp, & extra special!! I am on my second electric pizzel maker! The first one died on me..I wonder why!!.....LOL This is an Italian traditional cookie, and I always use anise flavoring. Then a little dusting with powdered sugar. Nancy....11/16/12
