Mario Batali's recipe for Pizzelle:

Pizzelle
6 eggs
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup vegetable oil
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
Optional additions: 3 tablespoons fennel seeds or 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, sugar, and oil and mix thoroughly.
Add the flour, baking powder, and optional flavorings, and mix well to form a
homogenous batter. Set aside at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Heat a pizzelle iron until very hot. Pour 2 tablespoons batter onto the iron,
close it, and return to heat. Cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes.
Repeat until all the batter is used.

Remove pizzelle from iron and mold it around a pointed dowel to form a gelato
cone. Or make 2 pizzelles and spread softened ice cream or gelato and
sandwich them together. Then dip 1 end into chocolate sauce and enjoy.

Yield: about 12 pizzelle
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
