My great-grandmother’s pizzelle recipe, which my mother has adapted for pizzelle presses or irons (I use a Cuisinart® double pizzelle press). A family must-have at all of our holiday dinners, especially Christmas!
Ingredients
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 6 eggs
- 1 ½ cups white sugar
- ¾ cup shortening (such as Crisco®), melted and cooled slightly
- 2 tablespoons shortening (such as Crisco®), melted and cooled slightly
- 1 tablespoon anise seeds, crushed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (Optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat pizzelle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
Step 2
Mix flour and baking powder together in a bowl.
Step 3
Combine eggs and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and beat on medium speed until well-blended. Add 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons shortening and beat until blended. Add flour mixture and mix on medium speed until incorporated. Fold anise seeds and vanilla extract into batter with a spatula.
Step 4
Drop a teaspoon of batter onto the preheated iron. Bake until golden, 30 to 40 seconds, or a few seconds longer for darker pizzelle.
Cook’s Notes:
To make chocolate pizzelle, you can add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder to the flour mixture in step 1.
