6 eggs
3 1/2 c. flour
1 1/2 c. sugar
1 c. butter (1/2 lb.)
4 tsp. baking powder (level)
2 tbsp. vanilla or anise seeds or both

Beat eggs, adding sugar gradually. Beat until smooth. Add cooled, melted butter, vanilla extract and/or anise seeds. Sift flour and baking powder and add to the egg mixture. Dough will be sticky enough to be dropped by teaspoon onto the pizzelle maker.

For chocolate pizzelles: add 1/2 cup cocoa (bitter) and 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 teaspoon baking powder to egg mixture.

For pizzelles with nut: add 1 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped fine to batter.
