Pizzelle were originally made in Ortona, in the Abruzzo region of south-central Italy. The name comes from the Italian word for round and flat ("pizze"); this is also the meaning of the word "pizza". Many other cultures have developed a pizzelle-type cookie as part of their culture (for example, the Norwegian Krumkake). It is known to be one of the oldest cookies, they are thin, crisp biscuits made using a batter similar to that of pancake or waffle and cooked in a pizzelle maker such as this one. The iron imprints an intricate design onto the cookies, adding an aesthetic touch to your delicious treats.
