2005 Blue Ribbon Ohio State Fair vanilla pizzelles

3 eggs

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

3/4 cup sugar

1/2 cup margarine, melted

1 tablespoon vanilla

n a bowl, beat eggs, adding sugar gradually. Beat until smooth. Add cooled melted margarine and vanilla extract. Sift four and add to egg mixture. Dough will be sticky enough to be dropped by spoon. Place a heaping teaspoonful of batter in the center of each grid pattern on the bottom grid of the pizzelle maker. Close grids, squeeze handles together to spread the batter, and clip handles together during baking.

Bake until golden brown, approximately 60 seconds per batch. Remove pizzelles from grid with a spatula. (Note: When iron is hot, bake about 60 seconds per pair of cookies.

Yield: 3 dozen cookies.
