If you go to an ice cream store, you typically have a choice between getting a waffle cone and a sugar cone; the sugar cones are mass produced and waffle cones are larger, softer ones generally made in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, the way I see it, any ice cream cone made on a waffle iron is a waffle cone<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This cone recipe ends up nice and crispy and sweet<\/strong> – more like what you typically hear called a sugar cone, but way better!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

    How to Shape a Waffle Cone<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The waffle cone maker comes with a cone-shaped mold to roll the waffle around. Here are a couple of rolling tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Work fast.<\/strong> The waffles harden super quickly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Protect your hands.<\/strong> The waffle will be really hot and you could burn yourself. You might want to use a towel or wear gloves to help you roll.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. As soon as the cone begins to overlap itself, press down firmly as you continue to roll to make it stick closed<\/strong>. It also helps to hold the waffle in the position shown in step four for a few seconds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Use your fingers to pinch together the hole at the bottom of the cone<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
