• servings: 24 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

3 large egg

3/4 cup sugar

1/2 cup butter (melted and cooled)

1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (sifted)

2 teaspoons baking powder

Directions

Beat eggs and sugar in a mixing bowl for approximately 2 to 3 minutes, until they're fluffy and a light yellow color.

While still beating, slowly drizzle in the melted and cooled butter. Then add the vanilla extract.

In a separate bowl, whisk the baking powder into the flour. Using a spatula, fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just incorporated.

Bake one medium cookie scoop of batter (about 1 ½ tablespoons) per mold in a pizzelle maker until golden brown, about 30 seconds. Remove with a wooden spatula to a cooling rack and cool completely.

Dust cooled pizzelles with powdered sugar, as desired.
