Recipe by: Connie Ikeda

"These are the best pizzelle out there! Make sure to use real anise oil, not extract, and only 1/2 teaspoon per batch is plenty. Buy anise oil on the internet if you can't find it locally."

Directions

Whisk flour, sugar, eggs, shortening, baking powder, salt, and anise oil together in a large bowl. Refrigerate 2 hours or overnight.
Preheat pizzelle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
Drop a spoonful of batter onto the preheated iron. Bake until golden, 30 to 40 seconds. Carefully remove pizzelle and cool on a cooling rack.
