Choco Nutty Banana Pizzelles Recipes

CHOCO-NUTTY BANANA PIZZELLES

Steps:

• Beat egg with sugar until thick. Stir in melted butter and banana extract. Sift flour and baking powder. Mix into batter. Batter will be thick.
• Preheat pizzelle griddle. Lightly grease griddle as needed. Drop 1 tablespoon batter onto each circle. Cook for approximately 25 seconds.
• Once the pizzelles are done, set aside. Melt milk chocolate chips in microwave on medium setting for approximately 1 1/2 minutes. Stir chocolate until it is smooth. Spread melted chocolate about 1/2" strip around the edge of a pizzelle. Sprinkle chopped pecans over chocolate before it hardens. Set aside to cool and harden. Repeat with the remaining pizzelles.
• Optional: If you would like your pizzelles to look more "dressy," drizzle the tops of the pizzelles with melted white chocolate.

PIZZELLE

Steps:

• Whisk together the sugar, butter, milk, vanilla, anise extract if using and eggs in a large bowl. Add the flour, baking powder and salt, and continue to whisk until the batter is smooth. Allow to stand at room temperature for at least 1 hour so the batter can hydrate.
• Heat the pizzelle iron, and cook your pizzelles according to the manufacturer's directions.

CHOCOLATE CHIP AND CINNAMON PIZZELLES

Steps:

• Preheat the pizzelle iron to medium-high heat.

• Brush the pizzelle cooking surfaces with melted butter. Spoon 1 tablespoon of batter in the center of the pizzelle iron. Close the iron and cook until deep golden, about 3 minutes. Transfer the pizzelles to a cooling rack. Cool completely. Store the pizzelles airtight at room temperature.
• Chef's Note: The batter can also be cooked in a preheated and lightly oiled waffle iron. Pour 1/2 cupfuls of batter into the waffle iron and cook for about 3 minutes.
