Holiday Tradition

Tis the season for pizzelles. Pizzelles have long been a holiday favorite in my family. This morning I made a batch with my little lady for the holiday open house this evening at the store. She mostly played with some plastic containers from the recycling and ran around while I did the mixing and the cooking, but I'll still call her my helper because she put the holiday magic into them. They are so delicious with just little sprinkle of powdered sugar on them. Jake likes them with jam. Here's the recipe I used.
