I had not looked it up before I saw your message, but did a quick
search. While it is interesting, it isn't a green light for using it in
quantity. The sugar in maple syrup is still sucrose, and would have to
be accounted for. Some substitution of it for other sugars (Ruth
suggested trying a few drops in her cole slaw recipe in place of the
sugar she had used and I suggested trying it in her bread recipe in
place of the honey (gotta feed the yeast)) might be one way to use it
without overdosing on it. Anyway, we'll have to do some experimenting
when we get home.

This is another we will have to work on. We got some commercial Pizzelle
which claimed 18 g carbohydates for 6 cookies. That would make them
about 3 grams carbohydrates each. I am not sure how my mom's recipe
compares, but these are probably one of the safer cookies for Ruth to
have as is. If we cut down on the sugar in the recipe a bit, they would
be even better.

Title: Ann's Pizzelle
Yield: 50 servings
Category: Ethnic, Desserts

Ingredients
---
6 large Eggs
1 1/2 c Sugar
1 medium Juice of one orange
1/4 tsp Grated orange rind (approx)
2 Tbs Anise seed
1 c Melted shortening
3 tsp Baking powder
4 c Flour
1 c Flour

---
Instructions
---

Beat eggs, add sugar gradually and mix thoroughly.  Add orange juice
and a little grated orange rind (optional), anise seed and melted
shortening. Stir.
Add baking powder to flour and mix well to form soft dough.  Turn on a
floured board and form strips.  Cut into 1" pieces.
Cook in cookie iron until light golden brown.

Notes
---

Notes:  The amount of flour will vary based on the size of the orange
used and the type of pizzelle iron.  Electric irons may require a
softer dough and will use approximately 4 cups of flour.  This type
of dough will be dropped by spoonfulls onto the cookie grids. .  The
one-cookie iron can use a stiffer dough which can be rolled out and
cut.  Mom's recipe called for 4-5 cups of white flour.  We have made
this with whole-wheat flour as well.
The shortening can be butter, margarine, shortening, oil, or a
combination thereof.
Yield is approximately 50 pizzelle
