Here goes nothing! When I first looked at the recipe it made sense, but when I started to actually make the dough the recipe was hard to understand. I called my mom over to help me translate and we just both started laughing.
In the end it was all worth while and the cookies were delicious! I will definitely be making these a tradition in my family.

They look beautiful! I just purchased one of these irons on Ebay - of course it was described as a Pizzelle iron- I knew when it arrived I would not be using my pizzelle recipe in it. I started searching and found all this information on the Goro- now I am looking for the cast iron ring that help support this super heavy iron. I know it will work with out the ring- but it would be so much easier to flip it using the little pivot ball on the top with the ring.
ReplyDeleteSo you CAN use it without the ring?! I inherited my great grandma's goro iron, it makes 3 at a time, which seems to be much harder to find a ring for! Can I use it on glass top oven? If I'm SUPER careful?
ReplyDeleteYou should get a round cookie rack the size of your burner (from asian market) place that on the glass top and then your iron on top.
