Serve and enjoy!
For a richer flavor, try using browned butter instead of melted butter.
Experiment with different flavor extracts, such as almond, lemon, or anise, to customize your pizzelle.
If your pizzelle iron tends to stick, try adding a teaspoon of cornstarch to the batter.
Pizzelle are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be reheated in a warm oven for a few minutes to restore their crispness.
