Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk

Directions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and sugar.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg whites, and vanilla extract.
  3. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while stirring.
  4. Gradually add the milk and continue stirring until the batter is smooth.
  5. Preheat a cone maker or a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  6. For a cone maker: Spoon 1 tablespoon of batter onto the preheated cone maker. Close and cook for about 1-2 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Using a cone roller, quickly roll the cooked cone around the roller and hold for a few seconds to set the shape. Remove the cone from the roller and let it cool on a wire rack. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  7. For a non-stick skillet: Heat the skillet and add about 1 tablespoon of batter. Tilt the skillet to spread the batter into a thin, round shape. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Flip and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Remove the cone from the skillet and shape it using a cone roller or by hand. Let it cool on a wire rack. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  8. Once the cones are completely cool, they are ready to be filled with your favorite ice cream flavors.
