Thinner, crisper pizzelles are less likely to wilt in humid air. Cook your pizzelles for a few seconds longer than usual. To season the iron, coat the plates with a vegetable oil and heat on the stove for minutes. Flip the iron every minute or so, to heat both sides evenly. If using a dough recipe, roll pieces into small balls before placing on the plate and squeezing the handles shut. Drop a golf ball sized dough ball on the griddle and press with a lightly greased grill press.
Let it sit for seconds until crisp and brown, then flip using a turner and press again. BUT, once your pizzelles have been thawed from frozen they may be a bit more brittle than freshly made pizzelles.
Jean said to use a heaping teaspoon of the batter which comes out pretty thick and place it in the center, I did what she said and they turned out great! These cookies can be lightly covered and stored at room temperature. I usually just stack them and slip them into a zip-top bag. As long as they were completely cool when wrapped, they should stay crisp for weeks. They will easily keep well for at least 1 month. To freeze the pizzelle, make sure they are completely cool, then store them in an airtight container or resealable freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
Start small to avoid a mess on your stove. Attach the handle clip to bake the pizzelle evenly thick. For the first few pizzelle, add the batter or dough and cook for about 1 minute, turning the iron over every 15 seconds or so. As the iron gets hotter during baking, pizzelle will bake faster. To clean the cooking grids, just wipe thoroughly with a paper towel, absorbing any oil or butter that might be down in the grooves of the cookie pattern.
Do not use anything abrasive that can scratch or damage the grid surface. Pizzelle originated centuries ago in the Abruzzo region of south-central Italy, according to 19th-century Italian historian Giuseppe Tassini, and are still common in the neighboring regions of Molise formerly part of Abruzzo and Lazio, home of Rome.
The name shares an etymology with the Italian word pizza. Batter can be refrigerated to be used at a later time. Usually best when used within 24 hours. Best when batter is used at room temperature.

I think I will try another batch if I can figure out what possibly went wrong. Hello, These come out awesome.
Is there any way to freeze them?? I want to make ahead of time for Christmas. However, in my experience, they lose some of their crispness.
I placed mine in a freezer container and allowed them to thaw at room temp. I love pitzelles and I was so happy to find this gluten free version. They were so yummy. I just adjusted a couple of ingredients to mock our family recipe. I replaced anise extract with anise seed. And also added 2 tsp of lemon extract and also juice from half of a lemon. We like the lemon flavor to shine. They were nice and crispy. Thanks so much. When making gluten free pizzelles can I use King Arthur cup for cup gluten free flour instead of Bobs Red Mill gf baking flour?
But I just looked at the ingredients and think it should work. I just made this with King Arthur gluten free flour and it was outstanding!!
I did have to double the anise extract. First time making these and will continue every year now! Thank you for posting this recipe! I just tried your recipe, to give as a gift to my neighbor with celiac disease. These are sticking to my iron, no matter how much I oil it. Any suggestions? So my suggestions are just guesses. Look for steam to slow down and almost stop.
What type of pizzelle iron are you using? What kind of oil do you use to grease the griddle? Thanks for the prompt response! My iron is a year-old Rival with Teflon II griddles. So when I tried my first gluten free ones, I watched the steam and checked after one minute. So I cooled the iron, cleaned the griddles and tried again. They were done but they ripped apart again, sticking to both top and bottom griddles.
The only other thing I can think of is that my iron has a clamp on the handle to really squeeze the griddles together for the thinnest pizzelle possible. Now another question. I refrigerated the batter overnight. Is it still usable? Thanks for the reply. This is perplexing.
The only other thing I can think is that it might be oil? I use a nonstick cooking spray. In addition to oil, it contains lecithin, a nonstick agent.
