Galettes

These cookies are made with a special galette iron. If you don't have one, try a pizzelle iron. One reader tells us that even a waffle iron works fine. You can also occasionally find them on eBay.

1 lb butter, melted
6 eggs
2 cups sugar
2 cups brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla or rum flavoring
1 teaspoon baking powder
6 cups flour

Sift flour and baking powder and mix in rest of ingredients. Chill dough. Drop spoonfuls on a pre-heated iron. Hold over hot stove and bake on each side for 2-1/2 to 3 minutes.

Galettes are actually French in origin. My aunt, whose family was from Belgium, introducted them to my mom who now makes them every Christmas on the gas stove with a handmade galette iron and my aunt's recipe. They are fabulous. five stars

My Granmother and Grandfather are from Belgium France and she used to make these all the time. After they both died I lost track of who inherited the iron.I would love to have another one, if you are interested in selling the iron I would be most interested in buying it.email is mypye@yahoo.com five stars

I have had a Galette Iron in the kitchen for 28 years and never bothered to look for a recipe on-line. My wife's family introduced Galettes to me as a teen back in WV. I remember they spent nearly a day making them at Christmas, part of the ritual of the Christmas Season. I'll be making the this year! five stars

as an aside on this recipe - we made these on a gas stove and altho labor intensive, worth every moment

if you make them the right size - Pringles cans make great storage containers and if you decorate them, gift packages.

as of this posting there is a great iron for sale on ebay (not mine I swear) under pizelle cooker five stars
