Yea pizzelle! My great-aunt makes them every year at Christmas, though she uses vanilla flavoring and powdered sugar. Did you pronounce the last e or not? I've found the Southern Italians do the former (i.e. my family), and the Northern the latter.
Pshaw, like my Scots-Irish-English-German family would have a clue about how to pronounce Italian words. *g* I only just learned the word today, but my first instinct is to say "piz-el." No final "e," I guess. Wikipedia, perhaps wisely, doesn't choose a side in this debate.
