Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 3 Eggs
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Pure maple syrup
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Chopped walnuts

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your pizzelle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar until thick and pale, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the maple syrup, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms.

Step 6

Gently fold in the chopped walnuts to evenly distribute them in the batter.

Step 7

Lightly grease the pizzelle maker with non-stick spray if needed.

Step 8

Drop about 1 tablespoon of batter onto the center of each pizzelle grid, close the lid, and cook for 30-60 seconds, or until the pizzelles are golden brown.

Step 9

Carefully remove the pizzelles with a spatula and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. They'll crisp up as they cool.

Step 10

Repeat with the remaining batter, ensuring to grease the pizzelle maker as needed between batches.

Step 11

Serve the pizzelles plain or with a light dusting of powdered sugar. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
