Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes about 20 waffle cups

Ingredients

1 cup water
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon lightly beaten egg white
¼ teaspoon almond extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
⅔ cup confectioners sugar
2 tablespoons finely ground blanched almonds
6 tablespoons powdered milk

Special Equipment

an electric pizzelle maker, 2 large (3½") ramekins, and 2 small (2½") ramekins

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Blend all ingredients in a blender at low speed until totally smooth, about 1 minute. Chill batter, covered, 1 hour.

    Step 2

    Heat pizzelle maker and lightly brush top and bottom with oil. Pour a generous tablespoon batter on each side (left and right) of pizzelle maker and spread quickly with back of a spoon to cover molds. Close cover and cook until golden, about 1½ minutes.

    Step 3

    Working quickly (the pizzelle is pliable only while still hot), peel off 1 pizzelle and fit into 1 large ramekin, then press a small ramekin inside to shape pizzelle. Shape second pizzelle using second pair of ramekins. Remove ramekins when waffle cups are hardened, about 2 minutes. Make more waffle cups with remaining batter.
