These are my Italian pel cookies and they’ve been with me for my entire adult life. They’re a Christmas tradition. This recipe is so close to my heart. I can’t even tell you. I get emotional. It’s silly. I know. If you’ve never heard of them or had them before, they’re almost like a waffle but crisp. And they have the loveliest ana seed kind of licoricey taste. They go great with a cup of coffee or tea or hot cocoa. and I just can’t get enough of them. My recipe is a little bit different than other pitels that I’ve tried. It’s actually as thin as can be, like as thin as a potato chip and as crisp as a frosty morning. They’re definitely more crisp than any other pel I’ve ever had before. Yes, you do need a pel maker for this recipe, but I don’t think you’re going to regret the purchase. Scoop a small amount of the batter onto the hot pel iron. Close the lid. When it stops steaming, it’s time to check them. They should have kind of a lightly golden blonde color. And when they first come off of that iron, they’re not going to be crisp just yet, but don’t worry, they’ll get there as they cool. They keep for a really long time and they stay crisp, I promise. Hit me up with any questions you have and have a happy holiday season. Hope you enjoy.
