ITALIAN PIZZELLES
Caveat: You need an electric pizzelle iron, preferably non-stick. (Similar to a waffle iron.)
Batter: 6 eggs; 1 and 1/4 cups of sugar; 1 and 1/4 cups of canola oil; 1 T baking powder; 1 T anise seed; 3 cups of flour.
In electric mixer, beat after adding each ingredient to the bowl. Use an especially high speed for beating eggs and egg-sugar mixture.
Method: Turn on pizzelle iron (close to highest temp); using brush, coat teflon surfaces w/canola oil before iron is fully heated, then allow to heat some more. Drop about a silver-dollar size amt of batter onto each section of pizzelle iron; close lid, press down lightly and heat for 30-60 seconds, until light golden.
