Precious Aunt Lill's Pizzale Waffles

Total Time: 1 hr 20 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 1 hr

Ingredients

• Servings: 36
• 6 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 4 teaspoons brown sugar
• 1/2 lb margarine or 1/2 lb butter, melted and cooled
• 2 tablespoons of either lemon flavoring or 2 tablespoons almond flavoring or 2 tablespoons anise flavoring or 2 tablespoons orange flavoring or 2 tablespoons vanilla flavoring
• 3 1/2 cups flour

Recipe

• 1 instructions: pre-heat pizzalle iron as instructions for iron dictate.
• 2 beat together eggs until lemon colored and gradually add sugar. add cooled margarine, flavoring, and brown sugar. beat together until smooth. gradually add flour, a little at a time. batter will thicken, so if necessary, finish mixing by hand until batter is thoroughly mixed.
• 3 spray pre-heated iron with cooking spray. place your iron on top of several layers of newspaper to catch the drippings as they cook. drop 1 tablespoon of batter in center of waffle maker (the teflon one with patterned plates is preferred). using a potholder, hold cover of iron down for 1 to 2 minutes or until waffle is golden brown. trim excess batter off the plates with a butter knife or soft spatula if batter oozes out the sides while they are cooking. this keeps clean-up to a minimum later on. don’t burn them! if top of iron sticks to batter when lifting, hold it down a few more seconds. when cooked properly, they should just have a slightly golden glow. remove them with a fork, place on a flat surface and immediately while still hot trim the rough edges off with a sharp knife so they end up in a circular shape. care for the iron like you would any teflon surface - don't scratch it.
• 4 cool waffles on flat surface, side by side -don’t stack while hot or they’ll get soggy. when completely cooled, sprinkle powdered sugar on them and serve on a pretty plate.
• 5 these are delicious and they make wonderful edible gifts at holiday time or to bring to parties. you may also use the broken ones as mix-ins for ice cream, or may serve strawberries and coolwhip on top of them. they are best stored in a big tin with a well fitting lid. if you store them in plastic ware, they will get soggy.
