I haven’t got the hang of the right amount of dough to use and have some weirdly shaped ones. They still tasted good though. <br /><br />Thanks for reminding me to make some again.

I'm the only person in the family who regularly puts the seeds in, so if you use extract you'll be fine. This is the full recipe that I use for anise pizzelles:<br /><br />--<br /><br />6 eggs<br />1.5 cups sugar<br />1 cup (2 sticks) butter<br />1 ounce anise oil (one small bottle)<br />Handful of anise seeds about the size of an old silver dollar<br />2 2/3 teaspoons of double-acting baking powder<br />About 3.5 cups flour<br /><br />In a large bowl blend together the eggs and sugar until smooth. Melt butter and add to mixture. Add anise oil and seeds and mix thoroughly. Add baking powder and flour (1 cup at a time) and mix together until dough is sticky enough to be dropped with a spoon.<br /><br />Plug in pizzelle iron and wait until heated through. Open and allow steam to blow off before making first pizzelles. The first few may be sticky, so you can spray some oil on the iron for the first 3-5 times.<br /><br />Place a rounded teaspoon of dough on each side of the pizzelle iron and shut the iron, clamping it into place. Bake for 30-60 seconds or so. Knock off anything that extrudes during this. Lift out with a spatula and place on a cutting board to cool. They’ll be cool by the time the next ones are done so you can stack them.<br /><br />You can dust them with powdered sugar, but I rarely ever do that.<br /><br />--<br /><br />For vanilla I just substituted vanilla in place of the anise (and drop the anise seeds). I should probably add more vanilla next time since it came out rather delicately flavored.<br /><br />For chocolate I made a batch of vanilla and also added to the batter an additional 1/2 cup of cocoa, 1/2 cup of sugar, and 1 tsp of baking powder.<br /><br />--<br /><br />Let me know how yours turned out! It's nice to know that other people are making pizzelles too. :) I usually bring some into work when I make them, and they always go fast.<br />Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03463621516644789183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977625681756554695.post-41313801862494806702020-03-21T18:28:06.918-05:002020-03-21T18:28:06.918-05:00All your talk about pizzelles has me wanting to ma...All your talk about pizzelles has me wanting to make some. I dug out my waffle/pizzelle iron out tonight to try tator tots on the waffle side...not bad, and decided while it was out I should make some pizzeles. <br />My pizzelle recipe is 3 eggs, 3/4 C sugar, 3/4 C melted butter, 1 1/2 C flour 1 tsp soda, 2 tsp vanilla, 1 tsp anise seed or lemon peel.is this the same as yours?!? Of course I have no anise seed and I’m not braving a store just to get some. Will I be ok? I haven't made them in years and I don’t know why.Julie Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01526144221446522481noreply@blogger.com
