Hi Nicky, a pizzelle is an Italian cookie that is sort of similar to a thin waffle. I love the dainty size of them, so I was thinking that your recipe might adapted to work in one of those presses. Thank you for the advice on the waffle iron - if I manage to find the storage space, it may be an addition to our kitchen gadgetry. You're right, there seems something festive about homemade waffles ...

Hi Jens,
glad you liked them - and you're right, these waffles better do not claim to be the healthiest kind of dessert ;) Feel free to reduce the amount of butter. I hope you're not shocked too much, when I tell you, that the original recipe calls for 200g of butter...
Shannon, silvanie, tara,
thanks for all your positive feedback, we really appreciate every single one :)
tara,
now I'm curious, how does a pizzelle-sized form look like? About investing in a waffle iron, it's probably like investing in almost any other kitchen gadget: unless you use them on a daily basis, they're likely to vanish in some corner of your kitchen cupboards after the first extensive use. But a waffle iron is not the most expensive device and it keeps the infrequent waffle-happenings quite special...

i tried the recipe a few hours ago, but without the strawberries. The waffles taste very good, but I think 140g of butter makes it like deep-frying it... =)
