HAZELNUT PIZZELLE

This delicately flavored cookie is delightful to serve with after-dinner coffee.

Makes 36 - 40 pizzelle

1-3/4 cups (425 ml) all-purpose flour

2ounces finely ground blanched hazelnuts [1/2 cup (125 ml)]*

2teaspoons (10 ml) baking powder

3large eggs

3/4 cup (175 ml) granulated sugar

1/2 cup (125 ml) unsalted butter, melted

1tablespoon (15 ml) Frangelico liqueur

2teaspoons (10 ml) vanilla extract

Preheat the Cuisinart™ Pizzelle Press on Setting 3 while preparing the batter.

Place flour, ground nuts and baking powder in a small bowl and stir with a whisk or fork to combine; reserve. Place eggs and sugar in a

medium bowl. Using a Cuisinart® SmartPower™ Hand Mixer, mix on medium speed for 1 minute, until thick. On low speed, add the melted butter and vanilla in a steady stream and mix until combined, about 15 seconds. Add the flour mixture and mix until just combined, about 10 to 15 seconds; do not overmix.

It may be necessary to lightly brush both the top and bottom grids of the Pizzelle Press with a flavorless vegetable oil or melted vegetable shortening. Use the spoon provided to scoop dough, about 1-1/2 – 2 teaspoons (7-10 ml), and drop onto one of the patterned cookie grids; repeat to make a second cookie. Close the lid and lock. The red indicator light will come on. When the red indicator light goes out and the green indicator light comes on, the pizzelle are ready. For a lighter colored pizzelle bake for a shorter time; for darker pizzelle, add a few more seconds of time. Remove pizzelle from the press using a heatproof plastic spatula and place on a rack to cool completely. Warm pizzelle may be wrapped around the dowel provided to form can- noli shells. Completely cooled pizzelle may be dusted with powdered sugar before serving.
