What does pizza cookie taste like?

Chicken.

Describing a "taste" is next to impossible, but it's a slightly sweet cookie, nothing like pizza dough. Try one and tell me what it tastes like. :wink: My wife and daughter make them all the time.

Aren't those the Italian "sort of waffle cookies" that are made into the outside of cannolis?

Yes, but you don't have to roll them. You can leave them flat and let them cool. They are waffle-like, except much thinner. Different batter too.

The Pizzele I've eaten were crisp and lightly sweet with a hint of vanilla. The texture is more difficult to describe - they can be light or similar in texture to a waffle cone. Cannoli shells are crunchy, dense and hardly sweet at all - some batters contain Marsala wine. Their texture is more crumbly like a (deep-fried) cookie. A freshly-made Cannolo shell almost shatters when you take a bite - messy to eat but delicious.

I'll have to try and find some....

 

[Black Hand]

I don't know where you live, but you may be able to find Pizzelle a place like World Market or a Little Italy. For Cannoli, Sicily has the market cornered though you should be able to find some at good Italian pastry shops.

Excellent description.

I only mention them because the method of cooking them is very similar to a waffle and they've been around since the 8th century.

Chicken.

:grin:
Saw a cartoon of two cave men at a fire, one is roasting the first chicken. He says, I don't know what it's called, but it tastes like everything.

Mix up the same mix cook in different ways and taste different, fried eggs taste different then baked. Waffles taste different then pancakes.

That pancake bot is cleaver but at what price?

P.S. Who would have thought that a subject such as pancakes could generate 11 pages (so far) of comments....many of which were actually about panckaes? "Lord, what fools these mortals be"- William Shakespeare.
:haha:

Clyde, you're supposed to put Brier Rabbit on your pancakes not the other way around. :haha:

I had no idea when I started this thread. I just love pancakes and wondered who else enjoyed them and other ideas about making them. I enjoy them at home or around a camp fire. They are more difficult to make on a campfire. Anyone have easy suggestions?

There's an interesting story behind that rabbit....He's famous in Japan.
Google Oolong (rabbit)
Oolong is the rabbits name.

Small bed of coals (No flames), a heavy pan, make smaller pancakes.

Pre-heat the pan You can learn to gauge heat by placing your hand over the coals...You can gauge the heat of the pan by placing a couple drops of water in the pan and watching them dance and evaporate.. There are many visual clues that can tell you what's happening.
a thermometer can help you learn...but the most important thing is practice....

Probably, the number one problem people have is too hot a fire....or even worse flames...

Fwiw, I've never had difficulty cooking pancakes over an open fire (using a small pile of coals & a good cast iron skillet), even in amounts great enough to feed any number of hungry Cub Scouts.

What precise problem have you had doing it?? - I'll try to help.
