- Next add the dry ingredients and beat again with the electric mixer, until the batter thickens.
- Let rest for 10 minutes.
- Preheat the pizzelle press.
- Drop about 22,5 ml (1 1/2 tbsp) of batter in the center of each pizzelle mold.
- Close the molds and cook for 40 to 50 seconds (or until golden). Remove the pizzelle delicately using a spatula and cool them on a wire rack.

To get the same result as in the photograph, don't worry! The plain pizzelle (without jam) are stacked and tied with a pretty ribbon. When it's time to serve, you can adorn your pizzelle with your favorite jam, stack a second one on top, and then you'll have a double pizzelle. A guaranteed hit!
Note : Do not apply the jam in advance or the pizzelle will lose their crispiness.
TIP
The cooking time as well as the amount of batter per pizzelle can vary according to your pizzelle press. The timing given here can be adapted as needed.
If your pizzelle stick to the mold in spite of the anti-adhesive surface, it could be that you're using too little batter or that your mold needs a light greasing between each batch. Or, if the batter overflows, you've simply put too much. Adapt the quantity to your molds.
If your pizzelle are not crispy once cooled, they are undercooked.
