Homemade Ice Cream Cones

Step 1

Place egg whites, sugar, milk, vanilla, and salt into a mixing bowl and whisk together. Stir in flour and butter until fully incorporated and batter is smooth.

Step 2

Place a nonstick skillet, cast iron pan or frying pan on low heat.

Step 3

Pour 1 ½ tablespoons batter into the warm skillet and spread into a thin even layer. Move it around fast to get a nice round shape. Spread it out roughly 6 inches x 6 inches.

Step 4

Place skillet over medium heat and cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until base has set. Flip and continue to cook for 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 5

Lift the disc off the griddle and QUICKLY and carefully roll from the bottom of the cone to shape it. Pull out the shape at the top to make it a wider cone. If you can lay the cone onto a clean towel and roll into a cone shape and hold, seam side down for 1 to 2 minutes or until cone cools and hardens. (this must be done quickly as the disc will begin to harden almost immediately after leaving the skillet)

Step 6

Tip: Focus on rolling the bottom of the cone first and that makes it easier to shape the rest of the cone. Take care not to roll it tight, you want a night opening on top to fill with ice cream.

Step 7

Dip the cones in chocolate and cover in nuts or sprinkles. Set the cones on parchment until the chocolate hardens.

Step 8

These cones are best eaten the day they are made. If you have any left over carefully store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
