Ingredients

  • 2 1/3 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
  • 4 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Directions

  1. 1
    In a medium bowl, combine 1/3 cup of the cream with the flour, sugar, milk, egg, lemon juice, lemon zest and 2 1/2 tablespoons of the butter.

    Beat until the batter is smooth.

    Using a knife tip, lift the edge of the pizzelle away from the iron; carefully peel the wafer off the iron and roll it around a large pastry tip or cannoli mold to form a cone.
