Prep Time 5 minutes mins
Cook Time 20 minutes mins
Total Time 25 minutes mins
- 2 large egg whites (2 oz/60 g)
- ½ cup granulated sugar (4 oz/115 g)
- 3 tablespoons whole milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch salt
- ⅔ cup all-purpose flour (3 ⅓oz/100 g), sifted
- 2 tablespoons butter (1 oz/28 g), melted
- ⅓ cup semisweet chocolate (2 oz/57 g), melted
- 3 tablespoons sprinkles
- ¼ cup chopped, toasted nuts (1¼ oz/35 g)
To Make the Batter Place egg whites, sugar, milk, vanilla, and salt into a mixing bowl and whisk together. Whisk in flour and butter until fully incorporated and batter is smooth.
To Cook the Batter Place a nonstick skillet or frying pan on low heat. Pour 1 ½ tablespoons batter onto the warm skillet and spread into a thin, even layer, roughly 6 inches x 6 inches. Move it around fast to get a nice round shape. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until the underneath is a light golden brown. Flip over and continue to cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
Shaping the Cones Lift the disc off the griddle and QUICKLY and carefully roll from the bottom of the cone to shape it. Pull out the cone at the top to make it a wider cone. Hold the cone in place for a minute to set and harden before placing down to cool completely. (tip: Shaping the cone must be done quickly as the disc will begin to harden almost immediately after leaving the skillet)
Another way to shape the cones is to 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.
Decorating the Cones Dip the cones in chocolate and cover in nuts or sprinkles. Set the cones on parchment until the chocolate hardens.
Storing the Cones 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.
