Special Precautions and Tips:
- Use a pizzelle iron that is specifically designed for making pizzelle. Regular waffle irons will not produce the same crispy texture.
- Make sure the pizzelle iron is preheated before adding the batter. This will help ensure that the pizzelle cook evenly.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough pizzelle.
- If the pizzelle are not turning out golden brown, increase the cooking time slightly.
- Let the pizzelle cool on a wire rack before storing them in an airtight container. This will help prevent them from becoming soggy.
