Make sure your iron is really hot, the first few pizzelle's will be somewhat white in color, as the iron gets up to temperature they will cook quicker and un less than two minutes, don't burn them!
1. 12 eggs
2. one pound of margerum (4 sticks) melted and cooled.
3. 2-1/2 to 3-cups of sugar
4. 1 tbl. spoon of good vanilla extract
5. 1/2 tsp. of anise oil (optional)
6. 2 tbl. spoons of anise seeds
7. pinch of salt
8. 3 1/2 cups of sifted flour
In a large mixing bowl, combine melted margerum,eggs and sugar, mix well till smooth add anise seeds.
add salt and vanilla continue to mix till smooth, sift in one cup of flour at a time, mix well, then repeat. After all ingredients are combined thias batter stiffens as the gluten in the flour beging to expand, yo want to wait at least five minutes after you mixed the batter to see what the consistancy is like, you want to be able to spoon the batter on to the pizzelle iron, some people like it to be firmer, this batter will ooz of of the spoon slowly, enjoy!
I got a basket of home made pizzelles in a basket for xmas and now I want to make them.
