📝 Preparation Steps

4
Add the melted butter, vanilla, and anise , then mix until smooth.
5
Use a rubber spatula to gently fold in the dry ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be spoonable and thicker than pancake batter but thinner than cookie dough.
6
Drop small spoonfuls of batter (about a heaping teaspoon) onto the center of each pizzelle iron plate. You may need to adjust the amount based on your iron size.
7
Close and cook according to the manufacturers directions or until lightly golden, about ⏱️ 45 seconds to a minute, depending on your machine. Adjust the timing as needed for your preferred level of color and crispness.
8
Transfer the warm pizzelles to a wire rack and let cool completely. They’ll crisp up as they cool. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
