pizelle
This is a "grandma" recipe from my 4 ft. tall grandmother. She wanted each of us to learn a few of her recipes and I was lucky enough to get the pizelle recipe. Of course I had to share it with all my cousins, but I always tell them mine are the best! These are wonderful with coffee after dinner, but I usually also sneak a pizelle or two when I walk past the container!!! They get eaten up pretty quickly!

How To Make pizelle
-
Step 1First you need a pizelle iron-an electric pizelle iron with 4 sections for pizelle is the best & works fastest. Preheat and rub with a bit of butter, both top and bottom (check directions from nmanufacturer)
-
Step 2Meanwhile beat butter until smooth Gradually add the sugar and beat well
-
Step 3Add to this the eggs, vanilla and anise oil. At this point it might look "curdled" but it's okay-don't worry
-
Step 4Add flour, baking powder and salt and mix thoroughly. Dough will be sticky soft, which is what you want
-
Step 5To use iron (once heated and lightly buttered) drop 1 heaping tsp in the center of each of the pattern sections. Close lid, grip tightly and cook 35-50 seconds or until lightly brown. NOTE the first pizelle are your "test" pizelle-those are the ones my little Yorkie loves! If you don't have a dog, just toss them
-
Step 6Cool on wire rack and then enjoy
