Italian Pizzelle Using Anise



MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.04

Title: Italian Pizzelle Using Anise
Categories: Polkadot, Lisa, Italian, Cookies
Yield: 15 Dozen

3 c Sugar
3 1/2 c Eggs
2 1/4 Melted shortening
(use a combination of butter
Margarine, and Crisco)
5 tb Grated orange peel
3 tb Grated lemon peel
3 ts Orange extract
2 ts Lemon extract
1 c Artificial vanilla extract
1 ts Anise oil or
1 Bottle anise extract
(not as strong flavor
As the oil)
7 8 cups flour

You need a pizzelle iron to make the cookies. These can be found at
Safeway or any good Deli or specialty food or cooking store. They are
about $50.

Whip the eggs until very frothy. Add the sugar and cream well. Add
the melted shortening--be sure it is not hot--and cream well. Add the
flavorings and mix well.

I use anise oil because the flavor is more intense--use just a little
more if you really like a strong anise flavor.

Measure half the flour in a very large bowl--8 qt. size or better--add
the egg mixture and mix together with a heavy wooden spoon--or any
large spoon. Add the remaining half of the flour one cup at a time
and mix well. You have added enough flour when the mixture "glomps"
off the spoon and is still a little runny--not real thick. Usually 7
cups of flour is adequate--depends on the weather (really!).

Heat up the iron for a few minutes then make the cookies by placing 1
full teaspoon full of the dough in the center of each form. Press
closed tightly and cook for about 1 minute. Immediately move the
cookie to wax paper to cool. The cookies are very soft at this point
and will take the shape of any bumps in the wax paper--so make it
smooth. This recipe makes about 14 -20 dozen cookies depending on the
size you make them. It can be cut in half easily without losing any
flavor. When the cookies are thoroughly cool--crisp--stack them and
leave them in the open--do not cover they will become very soft and
unappetizing. If you can, do not eat them for about 3 days to a week.
The flavor of the anise improves with a few days age.

Enjoy. Diane M. Ferrell
