I was browsing pizzelle flavor ideas and recipes when I noticed that some recipe call for 6 eggs and some call for 3. Same amount of flour for both. My recipe uses 3 eggs. What does the extra 3 eggs do? Wouldn't it make it too eggy? More like a crepe-cookie?
I've also seen a recipe where they use 3 egg yolks. What does using only the egg yolks do?
One more thing, I've used boxed Jello in cookie before (they were o-kay I guess) and I saw on the Kraft site that they have a recipe for using it in pizzelles? Sounds kinda wierd to me. When I used Jello in my cookies for a Lime flavor, I didn't like the extra tang and used lime juice instead the next time. The Jello made my cookies taste similar to pixie sticks, not sure if I want to try it with pizzelles. I guess I could decrease the amount of sugar I use (3/4 cup) to maybe 1/2 cup? Ah, forgot to add I'm not using the pudding mix, the gelatin mix (like for Jello-Jigglers). Any insight would be appreciated.
And one last thing (I promise). Is the sugar on the edges of these pizzelles rimming-sugar? Like the kind you put on alcohol glasses, or is it just colored sanding sugar? (or are they the same thing? lols)

Thank you!
AI sell pizzelles. In my recipe its 4 large eggs to 2 cups of flour and far more sugar then you wrote in your post. I roll them up and fill them.[IMG ALT=""]http://www.cakecentral.com/content/type/61/id/3330868/width/350/height/700[/IMG]

Canolis! Yeah, I thought of using them for those since I hate deep frying, and the only canolis you can find here are filled with frosting.....I'm not a fan of frosting unless it's on a cake. I prefer the ricotta or marscapone cheese. :)
My recipe uses 3 eggs, 1-3/4cups of flour and 3/4cups of sugar and the usual leavening (which escapes me at the moment). I just wasn't sure why you would want to put in 6 eggs.... for that much flour.
I also love the way you displayed them. Much better than my usual "pick the one you want from the tupperware container," lols.
A[@]craftybanana[/@] Does recipe has butter in it? I have 2 recipes for pizzelles. 1st 4 egg, 2nd - 6 eggs but it has more butter and less sugar per egg. I know you guys have canoli, that's why I named mine rolled pizzelles. We like them rolled and filled.

Ah yes it has melted butter in it too, 1/2 cup. I've seen lots of people make canolis out of rolled pizzelles it's common. I also saw someone who folded them in half (while warm) with filling sandwiched between and the edges were dipped in chocolate. Looked like a flat choco-taco! :) I've never filled mine (flat ones) and my grandmother never did either. Her canolis were pan fried instead of deep fried, but I just don't like oil popping all over the place.... too messy.
What is the difference between your 4egg and 6 egg? thickness, taste, texture, crispy?

I haven`t tasted much difference between 4 and 6 egg recipe, but 6 eggs recipe has more butter in it .
Thickness depends on the brand of pizzelle baker you have. I used to have Villaware ( they stopped making pizzelle baker) and it baked thinner pizzelles then CucinaPro that I have right now. My cousin has some kind of brand which makes thicker and smaller pizzelles and my recipe doesn`t work on her maker.
Crispiness? Mine are on thicker side and crispy and golden brown. I like them that way because when I fill them with whipped cream moisture doesn`t affect them that much. I have tasted others people pizzelles some are paper thin, kind of stretchy,chevy and white.
A lot depends on how you mix the recipe. I cream room temperature butter with sugar first, I don`t melt butter. Some people beat eggs with sugar first, then add everything else.
I messed a lot with original recipe before I ended up with one I use now.
My kids would eat pizzelles unrolled, unfilled, broken, burned, even crumbled just turn away for a minute and all rejects are gone.
ANatka81 I have never heard of these but they look lovely and sound delicious! Would you be able to share your recipe? I was hoping they could be baked but it sounds like you need a special cooker for them? I am very curious. Thanks in advance if you can help.

http://allrecipes.com/recipe/pizzelles-iii/ This recipe looks almost exact, but the process of mixing ingredients is different.
@Natka81 Thank you. I guess thickness was not the right wording, lols. I know it depends on the leavening and pizzelle maker, not sure where my brain was at the time. I use a Cuisinart one I picked it up at a garage sale and it makes thin pizzelles. Mine are crispy when I have it on the medium setting (kind of like a toaster).
My recipe has me mixing the sugar and eggs first, then adding everything else. I'll try creaming the butter and sugar first and see what difference it makes. I like my recipe, but the endless variations are fun to play with.
I did add an extra egg today and used 2 cups of flour and added 1 cup of sugar.I still used 1/2cup of butter though. I found that I had to turn my iron hotter to get it crispier (light brown). I just read in the comments of the recipe that an extra egg made the batter not as thick. Makes sense I guess.
@Dayti The recipe link is the same one I use. They're pretty standard. In fact that's the same recipe I got from my Uncle's tweaking. I also looked in the booklet that came with my pizzelle maker and it's the same too. So you can't go wrong starting with that! And yes they are made in a specially made waffle iron, a shallow one. They are traditionally made with irons (family/village crest, special design, etc). You could try making them like pancakes, but the batter is really thick. You could check thrift stores for Pizzelle makers, mine was $10 at a garage sale!
Edit: this is the one I have: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00006F2ME/?tag=cakecentral-20+maker
Thank you ladies, I have added these to the long list of things to try one day...just not sure I can justify getting the pizzelle iron yet! I don't think it's the kind of thing I could get for €10 over here. Having said that, munching through a big pile of these pretty things sounds like a fairly good justification...bet they're great eaten hot and with Nutella spread on them...
You never know! I just happened to be at an estate sale in my neighborhood and saw it there. I didn't haggle, just handed her the $10 (I sure wasn't going to tell her what it was worth!) Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose!
