For a more intense anise flavor, consider adding 1 teaspoon of anise seeds to the dry ingredients. Ensure the pizzelle iron is properly preheated before adding the batter to prevent sticking. Cool the melted butter before adding it to the egg mixture to prevent cooking the eggs. Pizzelle are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
