WAFFLE CONE

     WAFFLE-CONE - Waffle ice-cream cone, pizelles

     This recipe comes from a recent issue of Canadian Living
     magazine.  Waffle cones look like round waffles shaped into
     a cone, and have a wonderful taste.  (I admit it-I'm hooked
     on them.)  This recipe is actually for a type of cookie
     called the pizelle, but it tastes just like the waffle cones
     you can get at an ice-cream parlor.

INGREDIENTS (about 20 cones)
     3         eggs
     3/4 cup   granulated sugar
     1/2 cup   butter, melted
     2 tsp     vanilla
     1 1/2 cups
               flour
     2 tsp     baking powder

PROCEDURE
          (1)  Beat the eggs and gradually beat in the sugar
               until the mixture is creamy.

          (2)  Stir in the melted butter and vanilla.

          (3)  Combine the flour and baking powder, and then add
               it to the mixture.  Blend it in well.

          (4)  Drop about 4 tsp of the batter into a heated
               pizelle iron, and cook both sides over medium-high
               heat for about 1 minute each, or until golden
               brown.

          (5)  Remove the waffle from the pizelle iron and
               immediately shape it into a cone while it is still
               pliable.

NOTES
     A pizelle iron looks like a round waffle iron.  There are
     "manual" irons, and electric ones too.  If you don't have a
     pizelle iron, another idea is to use an ordinary waffle iron
     and have ice-cream on top of the waffle.  Not having either
     a waffle iron or a pizelle iron, we tried making these on an
     electric griddle, but since the batter is fairly thick it
     wouldn't spread into a large enough circle to make cones
     from.

     When you form the cones, there will probably be a small hole
     in the bottom of them that ice-cream can drip out of.  One
     idea for plugging this hole is to put miniature marshmallows
     in the bottoms of the cones.

RATING
     Difficulty: easy to moderate.  Time: 5 minutes preparation,
     1-2 minutes (per cone) cooking.  Precision: approximate
     measurement OK.
