Frequently Asked Questions:
What are lemon pizzelles?
Lemon pizzelles are ancient Italian cookies that hail from the Abruzzo region of Italy. Their shape is round and flat and they feature a unique ornate embossing similar to a waffle in texture. They are known for their irresistibly thin, crisp texture and delicately sweet flavor. Pizzelles can come in any number of flavors depending on their ingredients, which can include almond extract, anise oil, vanilla extract, cocoa powder and lemon zest. They can be served with a sweet decorative finish of powdered sugar. To create their interesting shape and texture, batter is pressed in a pizzelle maker (or pizzelle iron), like a waffle but thinner. Pizzelles are most known for their feature on festive holiday cookie trays, but can be enjoyed any time of the year.
What does pizzelle mean in Italian?
The word “pizzelle” comes from the Italian word pizze meaning “round and flat.” The end of the word, -elle, refers to its small size.
