Anise Pizzelles Recipe
Ingredients:
3 large eggs
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 teaspoon anise extract (or more to taste)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions:
Prepare the Batter:

In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until thick and pale.
Add the melted butter and anise extract (and vanilla extract if using), and mix well.
Combine Dry Ingredients:

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. The batter will be thick.
Preheat the Pizzelle Iron:

Plug in your pizzelle iron to preheat it. Lightly grease the iron if it is not non-stick.
Cook the Pizzelles:

Drop a tablespoon of batter onto the center of each pizzelle pattern on the iron. Close the lid and cook for about 30-60 seconds, or until the pizzelles are golden brown. Cooking time may vary depending on your iron, so keep an eye on them.
Cool and Store:

Carefully remove the pizzelles from the iron and place them on a cooling rack. They will crisp up as they cool.
If desired, dust with powdered sugar once cooled.
Serve and Enjoy:

Serve the pizzelles as is, or with a cup of coffee or tea. They can be stored in an airtight container for several weeks.
Tips:
If you prefer a stronger anise flavor, you can add an extra 1/2 teaspoon of anise extract.
Pizzelles can also be flavored with vanilla, lemon zest, or almond extract if anise is not preferred.
For a different twist, try dipping half of each pizzelle in melted chocolate and allowing it to set before serving.
