My Favorite Gourmet Waffle Cones

By Addie

This is our basic recipe for a rich buttery waffle cone.

Ingredients

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

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat the WaffleCone Express™. Start with Color Control setting of 2 1/2 to 3, but change as necessary for best results.

(MY NOTES - For me, setting 5 is about right, baking the cones for 1 1/2 minutes, checking on them
after one minute. I like my cones a little browner!)

2. 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 1 minute. Beat another
15 seconds to incorporate the flour and remove all lumps.
Add the melted butter and stir until well blended.

3. Spoon 2 heaping tablespoons (1 ounce) of batter in the center of the iron. Bake for 1 minute then check for proper color. Cook an additional 5 to 10 seconds if necessary.

4. Quickly remove the waffle from the WaffleCone Express™ onto a clean cloth towel. Use the cloth to help lift and roll the waffle around the cone form. Hold the cone a few seconds to set its shape then place on a wire rack to cool. Store leftover batter in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Let come to room temperature before using. Yield: About 8 cones

MY NOTES:

These are my very favorite ice cream cones!!!!! They are the best! Look no further for a recipe! This is a GREAT recipes - for several reasons. One - you don't have to whip the egg whites separately, and Two - you can make a couple of cones and store the batter in the fridge for a day or two and then make some more up fresh! Although, the cones, if made all at once, stay crispy and fresh right down to the last one, even if they last for a week!
