How to Make Maple Walnut Pizzelles

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and milk until well combined.
  3. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. Stir in the chopped walnuts.
  5. Preheat your pizzelle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease the iron if needed.
  6. Pour approximately 1-2 tablespoons of batter onto the hot pizzelle iron, depending on the size of your iron. Close the iron and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
  7. Carefully remove the pizzelle from the iron using a spatula or wooden spoon. Let them cool completely on a wire rack.
  8. Once cooled, store in an airtight container to maintain their crispness.
