Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3 eggs ((large))
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons whole anise seed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon anise extract
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter ((1 stick), melted and cooled slightly)
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • powdered sugar ((optional garnish))

Instruction

  • Preheat a pizzelle maker, and lightly mist the plates with non-stick spray.  Wipe the plates of the pizzelle maker lightly, to remove any excess.*
  • Place the eggs, sugar, anise seed, vanilla, and anise extract in a medium bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Stir in the melted butter.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, and salt, and mix until smooth.
  • Place about a tablespoon of batter on each of the hot pizzelle maker plates, and close the lid.  
  • Cook until only a few wisps of steam are escaping from the pizzelle maker, and the pizzelles look lightly golden.
  • Use a fork or small spatula to remove the cooked pizzelles to a wire rack to cool.
  • Dust with powdered sugar, if using.
