Description
Italian pizzelles with the same classic flavor and texture, but vegan! This recipe uses seven simple ingredients to make a beautifully delicate and delicious waffle cookie that everyone will love.
Ingredients
- 9 tablespoons liquid egg substitute (We use Just Egg)
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup vegan butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cup (232 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: 1 teaspoon star anise, crushed
- Optional: powdered sugar, for dusting
Equipment
- Pizzelle Press
- Pizzelle press scoop or a tablespoon
- Hand Mixer
- Mixing Bowl
- Cooling Rack
- Flour sifter or mesh strainer
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, beat together the liquid egg substitute and sugar with a hand mixer or whisk. Add in the melted vegan butter and vanilla, then continue to mix.
- With a sifter or mesh strainer, sift your dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Using the hand mixer, mix until a thick batter forms. Add in star anise and mix through.
- Turn on your pizzelle maker and allow it to heat up. We like to keep ours around setting 3, but it may vary depending on the pizzelle maker being used.
- Using a tablespoon (or the spoon that came with your pizzelle maker), scoop the batter into the center of each pizzelle mold and close the press. Allow them to cook for 30-60 seconds, depending on how crispy you want them.
- Remove them from the press gently and place them on a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Once fully cool, dust with powdered sugar if desired and enjoy.
Notes
- We crush out star anise with a rock, but you can also use your hands or a knife.
