For over 50 years my wife made pizzeles at Christmas time. Vanilla and
anise, occasionally chocolate. Always made on the C. Palmer electric
iron. Nothing works better. Some of our friends looked forward to
them every year too.

Last night I mixed up the batter for the anise flavored ones. They have
both anise oil and some of the seed in them. Today I cooked them all
and mixed the vanilla batter to do tomorrow. I've always helped with
the baking but this is the first time I did the mixing and it was simple
enough.

Once done, some will go into the mail to a friend that has been enjoying
them for 30 years. She cannot imagine Christmas without them. The rest
for family and friends here to enjoy.

I had to look them up and came across this delightful account of making
them:

Wow, that is nearly the same recipe. I use 4 cups of flour, not 3 1/2,
but otherwise identical. I also make them in front of the TV.

Nice find!

That's a nice link, thanks graham.

I think it's wonderful Ed is carrying on a tradition from his beloved wife.

I have a small electric "sandwich maker" (gifted to me decades ago) that
came with interchangeable metal plates. One is a pizzelle plate. I've
never used it but they sure look pretty!

That looks like fun. I'll have to see about getting an iron. My Swedish step-mom makes pepparkakar as well as other unpronounceable baked goods for Christmas.

I've only ever had the anise. Not a flavor I care for.

Me too! I do have a bag of star anise and use it for prune mui and for boiling peanuts. Other than that, it's not something I want to taste in most foods.

Leave it to you to **** on the idea just because you don't like anise.

A couple of the grandkids have asked about them so I surely don't want
to disappoint. Little things can sure make a difference in the memories.

That sounds like a wonderful tradition to continue, Ed! And you were
there helping her so yeah, I'm sure you figured it out with images of
doing this together in your mind. This makes me smile.

Yes, stroopwafel (treacle wafer) is the Dutch word for them. They're a
traditional Dutch thing. Aldi sell them here when they have a Dutch
week.

I have a big box of the stuff. I'd eat them but they're kind of old. That box had 40 of those things and was way too big. If we ever get another box we'll have to immediately get to working on eating as much as we can every single day.

The next time we get it, we're going to have to immediately give away most of it so we don't waste most of it. I got a box of Korean banana Choco pies yesterday. There's only 12 pieces in a box. I could eat a whole box of the stuff by myself. Hee hee.

Thanks for the memory Ed. When I was growing up there were always
church ladies who made either pizzeles or rosetes. You could tell
that it was a family tradition. The rosettes always came covered with
powdered sugar and a dab of a red jelly in the center. beautiful

On this rock, rosettes are called "Chinese Pretzels" which is a pretty fanciful name. The ones here are lighter and crisper because they're made using a mix of wheat flour and cornstarch. Chinese pretzels do not come covered with powdered sugar or jelly or anything else. Most of the time, they are sold in plastic bags and eaten as a snack.

Do they add any melamine?

It is customary to add melamine. If none is available, MSG will do in a pinch. Most of the time, they are served on melamine plates. That's so festive..

My auntie came into the office and gave me a fruitcake. She said it was my mom's fruitcake recipe. My mom has been gone some 30 years but the tradition continues. I suppose that when she's gone, so will the tradition.

Do you not have your mom's recipe? I know it's not the same when someone else
makes it for you, but it would be nice to have mom's recipe yourself.

I used to help my mom make it when I was a kid. It was one of the few things we did together. The recipe used beaten eggs as leavening so the results will vary greatly depending on the skill of the maker. The truth is that I was never a big fan of fruitcake but I had a slice of my auntie's fruitcake last year and realized it was pretty tasty. It's a smooth, pleasant, buttery, tasting fruitcake. OTOH, my fruitcake making days are over.

Just make fruitcake cookies, then! They're easy to make, taste like mini
disks of fruitcake, and take just a few minutes to cook.


Ingredients:

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon orange extract
3 cups self-rising flour
1 pound mixed candied fruit and peel
4 cups chopped toasted pecans or walnuts
1 cup raisins

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 300°. Beat sugar and butter at medium speed with
a heavy-duty electric stand mixer until creamy. Add eggs, 1 at a
time, beating until blended after each addition. Stir in vanilla
and orange extract. Gradually add flour to sugar mixture, beating
until blended. Stir in candied fruit and peel, pecans, and raisins.
Drop dough by tablespoons 1 inch apart onto lightly greased baking
sheets. Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool
completely on wire racks (about 20 minutes).

Seal in a tightly covered bowl as the cookies will develop flavor
as they age.

One needs to have a certain temperament to bake stuff. I don't really have that in me - not anymore. I used have the right stuff back in the 80's. My daughter certainly does now. These days, the idea of going through all those steps makes me feel week. I must be getting old.

Well, you might not be able to make mom's special asian fruitcake,
but here's what yoose can do on that rock: Spoon canned pinneaple
chunks onto a honkey moon pie. Spray generously with canned whipped
cream. Plop a chrismas decoration on. Make up a fanciful asian name
for it. Serve to yoose guests.

They'll never know the difference.

Aloha!

Yeah, wish I had a couple of my grandmother's recipes. Too stupid to
watch when we were young.

My mother made both light and dark fruitcake. I love both but there were
nuts in the dark and they are hard on my system. I make a couple
batches of the light each November, eat some and give some away but only
to those who I know like fruitcake.

I am the only one in the family who makes it. My brother phoned a couple
years ago and asked if I was going to make some fruitcake for him. I
said I would do even better than that. I would give him Mom's recipe. He
said that he had the recipe but when he went to get the ingredients he
saw how expensive they were. I guess he figured they were too expensive
for him to make it for himself but not too expensive for me to pay for
them, do the work and give it to him. I set some aside for him, but drew
the line at delivering it to him. He never came by to get it, so we ate it.

My auntie came into the office and gave me a fruitcake. She said it was my
mom's fruitcake recipe. My mom has been gone some 30 years but the tradition
continues. I suppose that when she's gone, so will the tradition.

I think that is lovely and I love the tradition too
