Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, and anise seed. Stir until well blended. |
| 2 | Gradually add the flour to the mixture, stirring continuously until a smooth batter forms. |
| 3 | Adjust the consistency of the batter as needed; it should be thick but pourable. You may not need to use the full cup of flour. |
| 4 | Optionally, add a tablespoon of brandy to the batter for an extra depth of flavor (if desired). |
| 5 | Heat the Pizzelle iron until hot. Spoon about a teaspoon of batter onto the center of each mold. |
