Pizzelles

3 large eggs

3/4 cup sugar

2 teaspoons vanilla

1 stick unsalted butter (melted)

1/2 teaspoon anise

1 3/4 cup flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

Melt butter and set aside. Beat eggs and sugar until light and foamy. Add melted butter and vanilla until incorporated. Sift together flour, anise and baking powder. Combine with wet ingredients.

Place 1 tablespoon batter in the center of the hot pizzelle iron. Heat until golden brown, about 45 seconds. Remove, repeat. Dust cooled cookies with powdered sugar.

Anise and vanilla can be replaced to change flavor…orange extract & cardamom for example.
