Pizelles

3 eggs

1 cup sugar

1 tsp. vanilla (or lemon)

anise (seeds or flavoring)

1 stick butter

8 Tbs. crisco

1 cup milk

2 cups flour

Beat eggs & sugar until fluffy. Add vanilla & anise. Melt butter & crisco separately. Add milk with melted butter & crisco. Add this & flour alternately to egg mixture. Batter should be slightly thick (not runny). Cook (in Pizelle maker) about 1 or 2 minutes till golden brown. (Crisco makes Pizelles crispy. You can decrease the amount and supplement with margarine.)
