Reply to comment by Awesomest_Possumest in This pizelle maker has been used by my grandma year after year for 40+ years. by H2Joee

This is great, a lot more like the ones my family (and really the whole city i grew up in) makes. I didn't know they had a different name as, kind of oddly, we call them tie plates so when i learned about pizzelle i assumed they were the same. The tie plate name may have something to do with the presses coming from steel ties of the steel plant in the town...or something.

Oh interesting! I updated my comment with the recipe if you want to try. We called ours pizzelles out whole lives, but it wasn't until I had a friend who knew what they are taste them and went, ok yours taste totally different than mine, and I like them better, that I realized we'd been making a different cookie (mom had typed up the recipe for me so I hadn't seen it in the book in awhile). I like pizzelles too, but they're more cake-y than this recipe makes.
