Meyer Lemon Pizzelle

8 ingredients
5 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups Granulated Sugar
  • 6 Large Eggs, room temp
  • 2 Sticks of Butter, melted and cooled
  • 3 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Orange Extract
  • Zest of 3 Meyer Lemons
  • 4 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 4 cups All-Purpose Flour, spooned into measuring cup

Directions

  1. 1
    Combine the sugar and eggs in the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat on medium speed for 1 to 2 minutes until well incorporated. The eggs must be at least room temperature. Cold eggs will result in an unworkable batter.
  2. 2
    Slowly drizzle the melted butter into the mixture, while mixing on medium speed. Add the extracts then the zest.
  3. 3
    On low speed, add the flour 1/2 cup at a time. Alternate between medium and low speed while beating in the flour. (I turn it to low while pouring in the flour; medium to incorporate the flour before adding more).
  4. 4
    The batter should have a satin sheen to it, but should be light and stiff. If your batter is too liquid, add more flour, a tablespoon at a time until the batter is stiff.
  5. 5
    Using a tablespoon scoop, place dollops of batter into the iron. Repeat 20-25 more times depending on iron size. The cookies take about 25-30 seconds in the iron. Fresh, hot cookies can be rolled or shaped into cups.
