Procedure
* Beat eggs and sugar.
* Add cooled melted butter and vanilla and anise.
* Sift flour and baking powder and add to egg mixture.
* Drop the stiff batter by spoon onto the iron.
NOTE : The batter can be refrigerated and used at a later time if you get called away or want to cook later
I'd say total prep time and pizzelle iron warm up, PLUS making the cookie would be about 30 minutes.
Now the clean up....that's another story.
