I made some pizzelles with Chad's pizzelle maker

these taste just like waffle cones and are absolutely delicious

beat eggs and sugar together, then add in the butter and vanilla

sift together the flour and powder and blend into mixture until smooth

drop about 1 TBSP of batter onto each side of the oiled pizzelle iron
