Dench's "I'm Not Italian, But I Play One In My Life" Pizzelles

Ingredients

6 eggs
3 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 (1/2 lb) cup oleo (margarine)
4 tsp baking powder
2 tbls vanilla or anise

Beat eggs adding sugar gradually.

Beat until smooth.

Add cooled melted margarine and vanilla or anise.

Sift the flour and baking powder and add to egg mixture.  (Dough should be sticky.)

Spoon onto iron and press.

Discard the first pizzelle like a resume from a Michigan grad.

Remove from iron while still soft and light.  Let cool on paper towel they will become crisp and brown slightly. 

You can flavor them but i prefer them this way.

This recipe should yield 60 pizzelles.
