PIZELLE IRON

   OED has no entry for "pizelle iron."


  News of Food; New Device Lends South's Touch to Meals by Baking Hot Bread and Cakes Quickly ; By JANE NICKERSON; New York Times (1857-Current file), New York, N.Y.; Apr 6, 1949; pg. 36, 1 pgs
("A utensil of longer culinary tradition than most experts would dare to estimate is being revived for the use of epicure-cooks.  It is called a gaufrette or pizelle iron, and turns out (after one has had a little experience with it) crisp, delicate wafers of the type that is classic with champagne and sweet wine, at least in France and Italy. ... One iron consists of two extremely long handles, terminating in two hinged-together grids (round or square, according to the style).  The batter is put between the grids, the handles clamped together, and the grids held over a burner for just about a minute.  Out comes the gaufrette, or as we would say, wafer--flaky, golden brown, ready to be served or rolled as a cornucopia for ice cream, custard or other dessert.")
