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 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.

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.

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

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

I was always fascinated by them. Good job continuing a memory.

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..

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.

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!

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.

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.

I just finished off one. 10 more to go. Looks like that was breakfast. Breakfast of Champions. I feel like a champ.

The Chocopie has its origins in the American South a little over a hundred years ago. Somehow it's become an item of worship in North Korea, and a beloved treat in Asia. What hath god wrought, indeed.

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.
