cups Sugar

2 2/3 cups Flour

2 teaspoons Baking powder

2 stk melted butter

Preparation

These cookies are for an electric pizzelle iron, I have been making them for 30 years.. The original recipe came from a dear friends grandmother:

Mix all together in a large bowl, I let it sit about an hour, it is a little thicker than pancake batter, then put about a large walnut sixe in the middle of each side and cook till light brown. The first few need to be disguarded till the iron seasons. In the beginning I used to brush a little butter on the iron but after all these years of use it is well seasoned and I don't need to do this any longer. After they cool I sprinkle a little powered sugar on each one. They store wonderfully in an old coffe can (5 lb.) They also roll nicely around a wooden spoon handle when warm. I hope you enjoy th
