Calories: 76kcal
Ingredients
- 3 eggs (large)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons whole anise seed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon anise extract
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), melted and cooled slightly
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- powdered sugar (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat a pizzelle maker, and lightly mist the plates with non-stick spray. Wipe the plates of the pizzelle maker lightly, to remove any excess.*
- Place the eggs, sugar, anise seed, vanilla, and anise extract in a medium bowl and whisk to combine.
- Stir in the melted butter.
- Add the flour, baking powder, and salt, and mix until smooth.
- Place about a tablespoon of batter on each of the hot pizzelle maker plates, and close the lid.
- Cook until only a few wisps of steam are escaping from the pizzelle maker, and the pizzelles look lightly golden.
- Use a fork or small spatula to remove the cooked pizzelles to a wire rack to cool.
- Dust with powdered sugar, if using.
