How to Make Italian Pizzelles

Step-by-Step

In a bowl, sift together flour and baking powder.
In electric mixer, beat together eggs and sugar, add the melted butter, vanilla and anise extract.
Add the flour mixture and beat until smooth.
Preheat your pizzelle iron according to manufacturer directions and lightly spray the pizzelle grids with non-stick spray or lightly brush with vegetable oil.
Drop batter by rounded tablespoonful onto center of each preheated grid. This amount can vary according to the size of your pizzelle maker.
Close lid and bake approximately 40-50 seconds, depending on your preference for browning and/or the consistency of your batter.
Be sure to lay hot pizzelle's in single layer to cool completely.
Once cooled dust with powdered sugar. May be stored stacked in an airtight bag.
