PIZZELLE ITALIAN TYE PLATES 1927

Steps:

• Beat eggs until thick and lemony coloured.
• Add in, beating well the sugar and beat until thick, beat in the oil and continue beating.
• Add in the flour.
• Add in the flavour.
• Heat the pizzelle maker on stove top, or if electric plug in unit.
• Drop tablespoon of batter onto iron and bake until golden light brown in colour.
• I like mine very light.
• Remove and cool on wire rack.
• Place cooled cookies into tin cans.
• If you are using anise oil, then use less amount than you would the flavour, as oil is stronger. But taste a few after been cooled and you can always add more flavouring as you go. I have also added a few tablespoons of cornstarch in place of some of the flour, so they stay crisp in those humid days. Hope you do try and like this heirloom recipe. Amount of cookies depends on the size you make them also. Also the batter can be covered and placed in the fridge for a few hours or overnight too.
