Pizzelles

Pizzelles may just be the signature baked good for Italian Americans. Here is Mary Catherine's recipe for the sweet treat.

Beat 6  eggs well. Then, add 1 1/2  cups  of sugar. Beat more. Then, add 1  cup  of melted  and  cooled  margarine. Beat  some  more.

Then, add 2 Tablespoons  of vanilla, 1/3  cup  anisette. Beat some more. Then, add 4 cups of flour and 4  teaspoons  baking  powder. Beat even more.

Get  out  your  pitzel  iron  and  heat  it  up. (maybe  you  should  have done that  first).

Drop  by  teaspoons  onto  the  hot  iron,  close  the  lid  and  wait  about  a  minute. Lift  the  lid  and  Munach! They  are  beautiful!

Cin dun!
