Oven Baked Sugar Cones For Ice Cream Recipes

OVEN-BAKED SUGAR CONES FOR ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300°F.
• In a medium mixing bowl, beat the sugar into the egg until it is pale yellow. Beat in the butter, vanilla, and milk. Gently stir in the flour.
• Grease a large non-stick cookie sheet and spread 1/2 tbsp of the batter into a 6-inch circle using a thin, flexible spatula. Dipping the spatula in water first makes this job easier. The batter will spread about 1/2 inch while baking, so keep the circles about 1-inch apart. Fit as many circles as you can on 1 cookie sheet.
• Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove the cookie sheet from the oven and use a large metal spatula to remove 1 cookie from the sheet. Handling it carefully so as not to burn your hands, immediately wrap the hot, pliable cookie around a cone shaped mold, sealing the point. Repeat with the remaining cookies. The cookies will harden as they cool, so work as quickly as possible. Let the cookie sheet cool and repeat the process with the remaining batter. Remove the cones from the molds when completely cooled.
• *** Variation - for Bowl Cones***.
• Invert 4 small , clean, identical bowls to use as molds. Place the hot cookies directly over the bottoms of the bowls. The cookies will fall around the sides of the bowls and harden as they cool. When cool enough to handle, carefully remove the cones from the bowls and repeat with any remaining warm cookies.

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.
