Waffle Cones


I used to have to makes hundreds of these a week at a restaurant called Melange where I was the pastry chef in 1987. We actually served them differently. Dave Jarvis, the chef, had us sauce the plate with caramel or raspberry sauce, place a large scoop of ice cream on the plate and then place the cone, open end down, on the ice cream, like a pointed hat sticking up. It looked very dramatic traveling through the dining room.





1 cup heavy cream


1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract


1 1/2 cups powdered sugar


1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour


1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon


Pinch ground nutmeg


1 tablespoon cornstarch


Oil, for the iron





Special equipment: Waffle cone iron; wooden cone-form





In a bowl with a whisk, whip the cream with the vanilla until mousse-like (it won't form peaks.) Sift the remaining ingredients together and stir them into the cream to make a batter. Let the batter sit for 30 minutes.





Heat up waffle cone iron and brush with a little oil. Pour some batter in and close the lid to bake and brown. Open the iron and remove the browned batter and fold over itself, overlapping it, on a wooden cone-form into a cone. Let cool then top with a scoop of ice cream.Do you know or have the recipe of Waffle cones for the ice cream?
This recipe makes 20 cones :]








INGREDIENTS (about 20 cones)


3 eggs


3/4 cup granulated sugar


1/2 cup butter, melted


2 tsp vanilla


1 1/2 cups


flour


2 tsp baking powder





PROCEDURE


(1) Beat the eggs and gradually beat in the sugar


until the mixture is creamy.





(2) Stir in the melted butter and vanilla.





(3) Combine the flour and baking powder, and then add


it to the mixture. Blend it in well.





(4) Drop about 4 tsp of the batter into a heated


pizelle iron, and cook both sides over medium-high


heat for about 1 minute each, or until golden


brown.





(5) Remove the waffle from the pizelle iron and


immediately shape it into a cone while it is still


pliable.





NOTES


A pizelle iron looks like a round waffle iron. There are


';manual'; irons, and electric ones too. If you don't have a


pizelle iron, another idea is to use an ordinary waffle iron


and have ice-cream on top of the waffle. Not having either


a waffle iron or a pizelle iron, we tried making these on an


electric griddle, but since the batter is fairly thick it


wouldn't spread into a large enough circle to make cones


from.





When you form the cones, there will probably be a small hole


in the bottom of them that ice-cream can drip out of. One


idea for plugging this hole is to put miniature marshmallows


in the bottoms of the cones.
