“Pizzelle are waffle cookies that are typically found in Abruzzo. They’re generally sweet, but this savoury version is quite popular in my mum’s village, Torricella Peligna” - Silvia Colloca.

3/4 cup (180ml) extra virgin olive oil
3/4 cup (180ml) white wine
1 1/3 cups (200g) plain flour
Charcuterie (such as mortadella & culatello), pecorino, micro herbs & olives, to serve

Method

1.

Place the olive oil and wine in a large bowl and whisk gently to combine. Gradually add the flour, whisking well to form a smooth batter (similar to a thick pancake batter).
2.

Preheat and lightly grease a pizzelle or waffle iron over medium heat. Place 2 tbs batter in the iron (use double the amount of batter if you’re using a waffle iron), spread with a spatula and close the lid. Scrape away any excess batter that oozes out of the edges of the iron. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until golden. Turn and cook for a further 2-3 minutes or until both sides are golden. If you’re using a waffle machine, close the lid and cook for 8-10 minutes or until both sides are golden and the pizzelle is crisp. As they cool down they will go slightly crunchy.
3.

Serve with a selection of cold cuts of meat, pecorino and olives.
