Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground anise seed
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup oil
- 3 large eggs, slightly beaten
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, blend the flour, sugar, anise seed, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- In another bowl mix the oil and eggs. Stir the egg mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until dough is smooth. Cover and chill 30 minutes. Shape into 1-inch balls. Keep chilled.
- Place the pizelle iron over medium heat. Heat on both sides until a drop of water bounces and sizzles on an inside surface of the iron. Turn the iron over occasionally during cooking to keep both surfaces hot.
- Coat the heated iron on both sides of the interior surface with nonstick cooking spray.
- Place a ball of dough onto the center of the heated iron and flatten it slightly by pressing it against the iron with your finger. Close the iron and cook over medium heat 30 to 45 seconds, then turn over and cook on the other side or until the pizelle is pale golden. Remove the pizelle from the iron and cool on a wire rack.

Reviews
This is a GREAT recipe. I will make again and again…my family is wild about it! I added 1 tsp. anise extract. Also used a rounded 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt and that little bit more of salt was ridiculously good. I highly recommend trying this recipe!
I unfortunately found the recipe hard to use in my pizelle maker. The dough was too firm
I’ve had a problem with greasy pizelle recipes, including a family recipe from Italy & one from the manufacturer of my machine. This recipe was great, not a bit oily or greasy when you taste or feel the finished product. I tried to make the recipe a bit healthier and substituted 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour for the white flour…no one noticed! It actually added to the color, too. I also substituted 1 tsp. almond extract for the anise seed and paired it with strawberry ice cream with great results.
