Equipment
- 1 Pizzelle Iron
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 3/4 cups sugar
- 2 1/2 tsp vanilla extract If using anise, replace the vanilla with 1 tsp anise extract or 1/2 tsp anise seed.
- 1 tsp grated lemon zest
- 1/2 cup melted butter cooled to room temperature
- 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the pizzelle iron.
- With a hand mixer, beat the eggs and sugar in a large bowl until light in color and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Add the vanilla, lemon zest and butter. Beat until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
- Fold the dry ingredients, a little bit at a time, into the egg mixture until just incorporated and the batter is smooth.
- Place 1 heaping tablespoon of batter in the center of the design on the pizzelle iron. Close the iron to press the dough flat and bake until golden brown, approximately 1 minute. (Cooking times may vary depending on your appliance, please adjust accordingly.)
- Using a spatula, remove the cookie from the iron and transfer to a rack to cool.
