How to Make Anise Pizzelles

  1. Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of margarine and let it cool completely.
  2. Beat 2 large eggs until light and foamy.
  3. Add 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon anise extract (or 2 teaspoons anise seeds, finely ground), 1/4 cup vegetable oil, and the cooled margarine. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Heat your pizzelle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease the iron with butter or cooking spray. Pour approximately 1-2 tablespoons of batter onto the hot iron, depending on the size of your pizzelle iron. Close the iron and cook for 20-30 seconds, or until golden brown. Carefully remove the pizzelle and place on a wire rack to cool.
