How to Make Pizzelle Italian Tye Plates 1927

  1. Crack 12 large eggs into a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until thick and pale yellow, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Gradually add 2 cups granulated sugar, beating well after each addition. Continue beating until the mixture is thick and fluffy. Beat in 1 cup vegetable oil until fully incorporated.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of anise extract (or your preferred flavoring). Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. If desired, add 2-4 tablespoons cornstarch for extra crispness, especially in humid weather.
  5. Preheat your pizzelle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease the plates if needed.
  6. Using a tablespoon measure, carefully pour batter onto the hot pizzelle iron. Close the iron and bake for 20-30 seconds, or until golden light brown. Baking time will vary depending on your maker.
  7. Gently remove the cooked pizzelle with a spatula and immediately place them on a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Once cooled, store the pizzelle in airtight containers or tin cans to maintain their crispness. If using anise oil, start with a smaller amount (1/2 teaspoon) and adjust to taste.
  9. Taste a few cooled pizzelle and add more flavoring if needed.
  10. Enjoy your delicious homemade pizzelle cookies!
