Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 3 eggs
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon anise extract (optional)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until the mixture is pale yellow and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the melted and cooled unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and anise extract (if using). Mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth, thick batter forms.
Preheat a pizzelle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease the plates if required.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of batter into the center of each pizzelle mold. Close the lid and cook for 30-60 seconds, or until the pizzelle is golden and crisp.
Using tongs or a spatula, immediately remove the hot pizzelle from the press and quickly wrap it around a cone-shaped mold. Hold for a few seconds to set the shape, or place seam-side down on a wire rack to cool and harden.
Repeat with the remaining batter, working quickly to shape each pizzelle while it’s still pliable.
Once all the pizzelle cones are cooled and firm, store them in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
Serve as is, or fill with your favorite ice cream, whipped cream, or other sweet fillings. Enjoy!
