\nFerratelle allo Zafferano<\/em><\/strong>
\n400 gr flour
\n1 small envelope of saffron from L\u2019Aquila,Italy
\n1\/4 cup sugar
\n2 tablespoons Aurum Liqueur
\nextra virgin olive oil
\nIn a small dish blend the saffron with olive oil just until saffron is melted. Set aside.  Sift flour in another bowl, add in eggs, blend by hand or with electric mixer. Then add in the saffron with olive oil, sugar and a few drops of Aurum liqueur. The dough has to be mixed till it is smooth and well blended. Then roll the dough into two balls.  cut off a piece and make a cylinder of about 1 inch in diameter. Cut off pieces that are about 1 1\/4 inch in length. Heat electric pizzelle maker and follow directions for use.
\n\u2018Once upon a time\u2019 (or as we say \u201cC\u2019era una volta\u201d) pizzelle or ferratelle were made with a single wafer  iron, cooked over a hot stove. The wafers had to be cooked one side at a time \u2026but it is not as popular since you can only make one at a time.. but they are more flavorful .. a slow process\u2026many of the old recipe books (including one from my great aunt who was a personal chef) tell you to\u2019 time the cooking of the pizzelle by saying the Ave Maria prayer and when the prayer is finished turn over the iron cook on the other side and time the same way\u2019\u2026.
