When she heard this book was in the works, our friend, Tina Trotochaud, nearly begged for a gluten-free version of pizzelles. I had planned to have her sample them once they were perfected, but my wife ate the whole container in two days!
You’ll need a pizzelle iron to make these delicate Italian waffle cookies.
Taste testing by family and friends is an integral part of the cookbook-writing process. When I served this quiche with its buttery crust, fluffy egg center with smoky and salty bacon, and blend of two cheeses, I thought I had a hit. When my brother-in-law, Kevin, went back for thirds and asked for more, I knew I was right.
Just like grandma used to make—and Gramma Fitz still does! These cookies are chewy and not too sweet, with plenty of ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice folded into a batter that’s packed with juicy raisins. Serve with a tall glass of milk for lots of smiles.
