Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon anise extract Can substitute with vanilla or lemon zest.
  • 1/3 cup canola oil

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
  2. In a larger bowl, crack in the eggs and beat them with a whisk until fluffy.
  3. Add the granulated sugar and anise extract, mixing until well combined.
  4. Gently fold in the dry ingredients until the batter appears thick and lumpy.
  5. Pour in the canola oil, using a spatula to mix until the batter is smooth.
Cooking
  1. Preheat the pizzelle iron and spray both sides with cooking spray.
  2. Drop a heaping tablespoon of batter onto the center of the iron, close it, and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions—aim for about 35-40 seconds, or until lightly golden.
  3. Carefully remove and lay the pizzelle flat on a cooling rack, or shape them as desired.
  4. Repeat until all the batter is used, and dust with powdered sugar if you wish.
