Ingredients
For the pizzelle dough
Step-by-Step Method
Prepare the machine
Preheat the Pizzelle machine. Oil very lightly if necessary to prevent sticking.
Froth the egg and sugar
Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Add granulated sugar and continue beating for another 2-3 minutes until it lightens in color and rises a little.
Add flavoring
Add vanilla extract and anise seeds; Stir briefly until the scent is mixed.
Mix dry ingredients
Mix the flour, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl. This will distribute the baking powder more evenly into the dough.
Combine dough
Add the dry mixture to the liquid mixture, piece by piece. Mix with a spatula or on low speed until a smooth dough forms; Do not mix too much.
Bake
Place a small scoop of dough into the machine for each pizzelle (adjust according to the size of your machine). Close the lid and cook until golden, 30–60 seconds.
Cool and shape
Carefully remove the pizzelles. You can cool it as a flat crispy cookie or shape it like a roll/cone while it's hot.
Storage
Store in an airtight container when completely cooled. If you keep it away from moisture, it will retain its crispness longer.
