Steps:
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Add salt and 1 tablespoon of sugar, and beat until stiff peaks form. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in vanilla and remaining sugar. Fold in flour and cooled butter until incorporated.
- Heat iron over medium heat, and brush lightly with oil, or spray with nonstick spray away from heat. Place a heaping tablespoon of batter on iron a third of the way in from the hinge. Close iron, and press tightly together. Scrape away excess batter with a knife. Cook one side for 45 seconds, then flip iron and cook another 45 seconds, or until golden. Adjust heat as necessary. Open iron, and remove waffle with a fork or a thin spatula. Quickly roll hot waffle into a cone shape. Repeat process with remaining batter. Let cones cool; store in an airtight container.

Steps:
- Whisk the eggs, heavy cream and vanilla extract in a bowl until well combined, about 1 minute. In another bowl, sift the flour, sugar and salt. Stir the dry ingredients into the cream mixture until the batter is smooth.
- Heat up a waffle iron and spray it with cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter towards the back of the iron and close the lid. Bake until golden brown, 3 1/2 minutes, depending on waffle cone maker.
- Open the iron and carefully remove the browned batter with a small offset spatula. Mold as desired. After a few minutes, the waffle cup/cone will take its shape. Allow to cool completely.
WAFFLE CONES
I used to have to make hundreds of these a week at a restaurant called Melange where I was the pastry chef in 1987. We actually served them differently. Dave Jarvis, the chef, had us sauce the plate with caramel or raspberry sauce, place a large scoop of ice cream on the plate and then place the cone, open end down, on the ice cream, like a pointed hat sticking up. It looked very dramatic traveling through the dining room.

Steps:
- In a bowl with a whisk, whip the cream with the vanilla until mousse-like (it won't form peaks.) Sift the remaining ingredients together and stir them into the cream to make a batter. Let the batter sit for 30 minutes.
- Heat up waffle cone iron and brush with a little oil. Pour some batter in and close the lid to bake and brown. Open the iron and remove the browned batter and fold over itself, overlapping it, on a wooden cone-form into a cone. Let cool then top with a scoop of ice cream.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your waffle cones. Use fresh milk, butter, and eggs, and make sure your vanilla extract is pure and not imitation.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the waffle cones tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Cook the waffle cones until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are crispy and have a delicious flavor.
- Let the waffle cones cool completely before filling them: This will help to prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Be creative with your fillings: You can fill your waffle cones with ice cream, whipped cream, fruit, or anything else you like.
Conclusion:
Making vanilla waffle cones at home is a fun and easy way to enjoy this classic dessert. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create delicious and crispy waffle cones that are perfect for any occasion. So next time you're in the mood for a sweet treat, give this recipe a try.
