Waffle Cones

One of my husband's favorite gifts this Christmas was a waffle cone maker. Waffle cones only take a few minutes to make and they are so much fun. We made them for my family this past week when they were visiting. This is the best recipe we have found so far.

1 whole egg
1 egg white
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup sifted all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp butter, melted and cooled slightly

Beat the egg, egg white, and salt in a small bowl with a fork until well blended. Beat in the sugar and beat until sugar is incorporated and the egg has lightened in color slightly, about one minute. Beat another 15 seconds to mix in the flour and remove all lumps. Add the melted butter and stir until well blended.

Spoon 2 tablespoons of batter into the center of the waffle cone iron. Bake for 1 minute and check for proper color. Cook for another 5 to 10 seconds if necessary. Roll waffle cone around plastic mold and hold for a few seconds until cone begins to harden. Cool completely before eating with ice cream. You can also make waffle bowls.

 

It was almost like Cold Stone when we mixed the ice cream with the cookies and candy of our choice.
