Scarecrow Ice Cream Cones Recipes

ICE CREAM CONES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt, eggs, milk, melted butter and vanilla.
• Whisk in the flour until combined. The batter will look like pancake batter.
• Set aside the batter for 30 minutes or refrigerate overnight. Return the batter to room temperature before making the cookies.
• If you have a pizzelle/cookie iron, preheat that. If you don't have a pizzelle iron, line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and preheat the oven to 350F.
• If using the pizzelle iron bake the cookies according to the directions for your model. Remove the cookie from the iron and set it on a work surface. Pour another cookie and while that bakes, wrap the first cookie into a cone shape. Continue working with two cookies at a time. While one is baking, form the other into a cone. As the cones cool continue tweaking the shape until they are set.
• If baking the cones in the oven, work with 2 cookies at a time on each baking sheet. For each cookie, spread two tablespoons batter to a 5-6" circle. Bake one sheet of cookies until golden brown, about 7-8 minutes. While the first set of cookies is baking, spread the cookies onto the other sheet. Remove the first sheet from the oven and put in the second sheet. While the second sheet is baking form the cones from the first sheet. Continue working with the sets of cookies until all the batter is used up. (see note)
• Cool completely. Store at room temperature in a tightly covered container.

HOMEMADE ICE CREAM CONES

Steps:

• Whisk together the eggs and sugar in a large bowl until frothy. Whisk in the butter, milk and vanilla. Gradually whisk in the flour and salt until smooth. The batter should be thin; you can stir in more milk if needed.
• Heat a small skillet or griddle over medium heat. Brush the pan lightly with oil. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet and turn to spread out the batter into a thin circle. When the underside is golden brown, flip over and cook until golden on the other side. Remove from the pan and form into a cone while it's hot, squeezing the end to seal. Place on a wire rack to cool and harden completely. Repeat with the remaining batter.

ICE CREAM CONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Melt the butter and cool it.
• In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites, sugar and vanilla. Stir in the salt and half of the flour, then mix in the melted butter. Beat in the rest of the flour until smooth.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use the back of a big spoon to spread 2 level tablespoons of the batter into a circle 6 inches across. Try to get the circles as even and smooth as possible. Cook's Note: You're likely to get 2 rounds on one standard baking sheet.
• Put the baking sheet in the oven, and begin checking the cones after about 10 minutes. Depending on your oven, they'll take between 10 and 15 minutes to bake. The circles should be golden brown throughout (some lighter and darker spots are inevitable so don't worry). Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Use a thin metal spatula to loosen the edge of one disk. Slide the spatula under the disk, quickly flip it over, and immediately roll it around a cone form
• Press the seam firmly on the counter to close the cone and pinch the point at the bottom securely closed. Let the cone cool slightly on the mold until it feels firm, then slide it off and stand it upright in a tall glass to cool. Roll the other cones the same way. Repeat, using the remaining batter.
• Place in cone holder of some sort to cool. Glasses work well.
• Serve up with one or two scoops of your favorite ice cream.

ICE CREAM CONES

Steps:

• Melt the butter and allow to cool.
• Beat egg whites until soft peaks appear. Add 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar and the salt, and whip until stiff. With a wooden spoon, gently fold in remaining sugar and the vanilla. Gradually fold in flour and cooled butter until incorporated.
• Heat the iron and rub with a lightly oiled piece of paper towel, then place 1 1/2 tablespoons of batter on it and close the cover. When steam subsides, check to see if wafer is golden brown. Remove it gently with a thin spatula; then, moving quickly, roll the wafer around a paper cone. It will cool and harden almost immediately. Store in an airtight container.

ICE CREAM CONE CAKES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Sit the cones in a muffin tin to hold them upright.
• Put the butter, flour, custard powder, vanilla, sugar and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Beat together with an electric whisk until smooth. If you have nimblefingered little helpers, hand round pairs of teaspoons and set them to work filling the cones. If you're making them yourself, spoon the cake batter into a food bag or disposable piping bag, snip off the end to give you a wide hole, then pipe into the cones, filling them ¾ full - this will enable you to get the batter right to the bottom.
• Bake the cone cakes, still in the muffin tin, for 30 mins until a skewer poked into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Leave to cool.
• To decorate the cakes, beat the butter until smooth, then add the icing sugar and vanilla, and beat again until well mixed. Put into a piping bag fitted with a big star nozzle, then pipe icing on top of each cake as you would a cupcake. Decorate with sprinkles, cherries, drizzles of sauce - whatever you like.
