They were not quite right - heavy and cakey.
Today we're testing out the new cart and a new recipe.
I wanted a movable work place in the kitchen. One day, I lucked out on an Amazon Warehouse deal on a commercial cart.
It's title is: "Metro MW Series Chrome Plated Wire Utility Cart, 3 Shelves, 375 lbs Capacity, 36" Length x 21" Width x 39" Height". It was easy to put together. Very sturdy. Now, will it do what I want?
I need a work surface that is about table-height. I think it's hard to work on a counter - tough on the arms and shoulders. But the kitchen table is across the room from the cooking supplies. Also, because the mixer is so heavy, it would be nice to have it live where it will be used. This cart is the right height and the right location.
This setup turns out to be excellent. My back is to the kitchen sink and counter.
The shelves on the cart hold flours and sugars. The counter behind me holds the microwave. Just need to get the eggs and butter from the refrigerator.
The pizzelle iron is probably at least 50 years old. The cord has been replaced several times, but it still works well.
The recipe I used this time:
yield: ABOUT 30 PIZZELLES
INGREDIENTS:
3 large eggs3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons whole anise seed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon anise extract
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
a pinch of kosher salt
may need an extra 1/2 cup flour
