Ingredients

6 eggs eggs
1.5 cups white sugar
1 cup margarine, melted and cooled
2 tablespoons anise extract
3.5 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, beat eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the melted butter and anise extract until well combined. In a separate bowl, combine the flour and baking powder; gradually add to the wet ingredients. The dough will be slightly sticky.
Preheat your pizzelle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Drop rounded spoonfuls of batter onto the hot iron. Close the iron and cook for approximately 90 seconds, or until the steam diminishes. Carefully remove the pizzelle and let them cool completely on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain crispness.
