PIZZELLE

Steps:

• Whisk together the sugar, butter, milk, vanilla, anise extract if using and eggs in a large bowl. Add the flour, baking powder and salt, and continue to whisk until the batter is smooth. Allow to stand at room temperature for at least 1 hour so the batter can hydrate.
• Heat the pizzelle iron, and cook your pizzelles according to the manufacturer's directions.

CHOCOLATE PIZZELLE FROM KING ARTHUR

Steps:

• Beat together the eggs, sugar, vanilla, espresso powder, and salt till smooth.
• Add the cocoa and baking powder, again beating till smooth.
• Add the flour, mixing till well combined. Add the melted butter, again mixing till well combined.
• Bake pizzelle according to your pizzelle iron instructions. A tablespoon cookie scoop works well for scooping batter onto the iron; a level scoopful of batter is the right size for most standard pizzelle makers.
• To make two-tone pizzelle: Prepare plain pizzelle batter, flavoring it with 1/2 teaspoon hazelnut flavor, if desired. Using a teaspoon scoop (which holds 2 level measuring teaspoons), drop a chestnut-sized ball of vanilla batter just below center in the cooking area of the pizzelle iron. Drop a slightly smaller ball of chocolate batter just above the center line, nestling it right next to the vanilla batter. Close the iron, and bake according to the manufacturer's directions.
