Add ingredients in order listed mixing well after each addition. Be sure the butter is not too hot before adding. If you like thicker pizzelles then increase the flour to 3 cups. I find that 2 1/2 cups works great for large eggs. You can use less Anise Extract, my family and I like them with a lot of anise flavor. Heat the pizzelle waffle maker and drop spoonfuls in the middle of the grill and cook 2 at a time for about 1 minute until golden brown. I trim the excess of the edges with a pizza cutter. You can sprinkle with confectioners sugar if you like.
