Pumpkin Pizzelles
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 eggs
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1Preheat the pizzelle iron.
2Beat the sugar and butter until light and fluffy, then add the eggs, pumpkin, and vanilla.
3Sift the dry ingredients together, then fold into the sugar mix.
4Lightly brush the pizzelle iron with butter, then drop a teaspoon amount of dough onto the iron. Close the lid and bake for 34-60 seconds.
