Pizzelles

My friend from work would always bring these delicious pizzelles into work for Christmas.  I just new I had to buy a pizzelle maker so I could make my own.  I made one recipe with the anise extract and another recipe using vanilla extract.  They are so good!

3 eggs

3/4 c sugar

1/2 c melted butter

1 TBS anise extract or vanilla extract

1 3/4 c flour

2 tsp baking powder

Beat eggs until light in color.  Add sugar, cooled melted butter and extract.  Sift flour and baking powder together.  Mix into egg mixture.

Heat up pizzelle iron for approximately 5 minutes.  Lightly brush butter on the hot pizzelle iron.  Add about 1 tsp of dough toward the iron hinge off center.  Cook for about 10-20 seconds.

Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.

Makes ~26 pizzelles
