Maple Pizzelles

Although I love maple syrup all year long, I especially enjoy maple syrup-related products in the Fall. I had been meaning to try this recipe for some time. These pizzelles are quite delicious. And the maple flavor is very subtle, so even if you are not a big fan of maple, you might still enjoy these pizzelles. 

Every year in October my nephew Rich and his wife Christen host a hayride and campfire through the Naperville Park District. I made these maple pizzelles for the hayride this year. Unfortunately, the hayride was rained out and rescheduled, but we still got together at Rich and Christen's home so I was able to share these maple pizzelles.

Maple Pizzelles

• 3 eggs, room temperature
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled
• 3 tsp. maple syrup
• 1 3/4 cup flour
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• powder sugar for dusting

In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar.  Add the butter and maple syrup. Stir in the flour and baking powder. Add a spoonful of the dough onto a heated pizzelle iron. Close and allow to cook for about one minute. Remove each pizzelle with tongs and allow the pizzelles to cool on a flat surface. Dust each pizzelle with powdered sugar. Enjoy!
