Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest for a bright, citrusy note
  • 6 large eggs
  • 3 1/2 cups Pamela's Artisan Flour Blend
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup melted margarine cooled (you can substitute butter for a richer flavor)
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3 tablespoons anise extract or substitute with almond or orange extract for a unique twist
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract for an added depth of flavor

Equipment

  • pizzelle maker

Method
 

  1. Start by measuring out all your ingredients. Having everything ready to go minimizes messes and makes the process smoother.
  2. Plug in your pizzelle maker and let it heat up. This step is crucial for achieving those perfect golden-brown cookies.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until they’re a nice, uniform mixture. Gradually add in the sugar, and whisk until it’s well combined. Next, pour in the melted margarine, vanilla, and anise extract. Don’t forget the lemon zest! Stir until everything is blended.
  4. In another bowl, mix the Pamela’s Artisan Flour Blend and baking powder. You want to make sure it's evenly distributed so that your pizzelle have that nice rise and crispness.
  5. Slowly add your dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir gently until no dry flour is visible. Make sure not to overmix; a gentle hand ensures a light texture.
  6. Use a tablespoon to scoop the batter and place it in the preheated pizzelle maker. Close the lid and let it bake for about 30 to 60 seconds. You want them to develop a beautiful golden hue. You’ll know they are ready when the delicious aroma wafts through your kitchen.
  7. Once you remove the pizzelle, place them on a wire rack to cool. This helps maintain that delightful crispiness. Serve plain, or get creative with toppings!
