My Dad's grandmother and mother made pizzelles when I was growing up. We grew up close to the North End in Winthrop. In recent years my Dad's cousin Virginia made them and I always loved the anise smell in the containers with the cookies. Sadly she passed away last year. I got an iron for Christmas and will be practicing with your recipes to surprise my Dad at the cottage this summer. We ate them all year long in our family. Thank you for the North End memories. I've been gone from New England since 1985. Grazie PJ
