How to Make Waffle Cone Batter

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup egg whites (from 2 large eggs)
• 7 Tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled

1. In a medium size bowl, beat together the egg whites, sugar, and vanilla. Then, gradually add half of the flour and beat the mixture until smooth.
2. Add salt, melted butter and remaining flour, and again, beat the mixture until it’s smooth.

How to Use a Waffle Cone Maker

1. Plug the appliance into a wall outlet in your kitchen and wait for it to heat up. Oftentimes there is a red light to indicate that it’s ready.

1. Preheat the waffle maker to the desired doneness using the temperature control dial.

1. Raise the lid and brush both plates with vegetable oil to prevent the waffle from sticking.

1. Pour 3-4 tablespoons of batter into the center of the bottom plate, allowing batter to spread for even filling. You’ll want to pour in a 2D cone shape. With the point at the top and a round bottom.

1. Lower the lid. Do not press down or the batter will leak, causing the waffle cone to be too thin and crack.
2. Wait approximately 2-3 minutes for the batter to cook.

1. Using a heat proof metal utensil, like a flat icing spatula, remove the waffle cone from the appliance.

1. Using a cone roller, wrap the cone around the mold and let cool.

Tip!

Remember to move fast because they cool very quickly!

1. Once the cone is set, remove it from the roller and place on a parchment paper-lined tray.

1. Ensure the waffle cone maker is hot enough for a second batch, allow it to heat for about 2 minutes before adding more batter. Repeat for each batch.

To clean up, allow the waffle cone maker to cool completely before wiping down the exterior with a damp cloth. Remove the plates and either wash by hand or in the dishwasher – check the product’s manual.

Waffle makers are a great way to jazz up your breakfast routine and can be brought out later for dessert. Check out all of our waffle and waffle cone makers including shapes and novelties.
