Instructions
-
Prepare the Butter:
Begin by gently melting the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Allow it to cool slightly after melting. -
Mix Dry Ingredients:
Using a fine sieve, sift together the rice flour, potato starch, and cornstarch into a bowl. Add the sugar to the sifted ingredients and mix well. -
Incorporate the Eggs:
Add the eggs to the dry ingredients. Use a whisk to blend everything together until smooth, ensuring no lumps remain in the mixture. -
Heat the Pan:
Heat a non-stick frying pan or crepe maker over medium heat. No need to grease the surface; the batter will not stick. -
Cook the Wafers:
Pour a ladle of the batter into the pan, spreading it out evenly with a special spreading tool. Allow each wafer to cook until it is golden brown on both sides. Be patient as each wafer cooks to a crisp, golden finish. -
Shape the Cones:
While the wafers are still hot, work quickly to shape them into cones. Lay a wafer flat on a wooden surface, and place a cone-shaped tool in the center. Lift the edges of the wafer to wrap them around the tool. Press gently to secure the shape, ensuring the cone is tightly formed. Continue the process until all the batter is used. -
Optional Taco Style Cones:
If you prefer taco-shaped cones, use a 10cm diameter ring mold placed on the hot surface. Pour a ladle of batter into the mold and let it cook for about 3-4 minutes. Once golden, carefully remove the wafer and allow it to cool for a few minutes on the edge of a cutting board or surface. Gently press the sides of the wafer to form the taco shape. -
Assemble the Cones:
Allow the cones to cool completely before filling them with your favorite ice cream flavors. Whether you opt for traditional ice cream or creative toppings, these homemade cones will provide a perfect crisp shell for your sweet treats.
Tips and Variations:
- Storage: Store the ice cream cones in an airtight container to keep them crisp and fresh until you’re ready to use them.
- Flavoring: You can flavor the batter by adding vanilla extract or a touch of almond extract for extra richness.
- Taco Cones: For taco-style cones, press them gently into the edge of a cutting board or wooden surface for that authentic, slightly curved taco shape. Fill with soft-serve or scoopable ice cream for a fun presentation.
Enjoy your delicious, homemade ice cream conesโperfect for any summer day or special occasion!
