Method
2) In a medium bowl, add flour, cinnamon and salt. Slowly blend into wet ingredients.
3) Spray pizzelle iron with nonstick cooking spray and allow to warm up. Pour 3/4 tbsp of batter onto the iron and cook until baked and brown.
4) While still hot, quickly roll the waffle around a cone-shaped mold, sealing the point (the cones will harden as they cool; remove from the mold when cool). Repeat with remaining batter.

If you think waffle cones are just for special occasions, think again. This waffle cones recipe is practical to make at home and tastes great. Sweet and crunchy with a hint of cinnamon, they’re perfect for your favourite frozen treats - whether you’re team ice cream, gelato, or sorbet.
Start with an easy batter by combining caster sugar, vanilla extract, eggs, melted butter, plain flour, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Then the secret tool to make this simple waffle cones recipe is a pizzelle iron (a traditional Italian waffle maker that creates delicate patterned cookies). Lightly coat it with non-stick spray, pour in a spoonful of batter, and press down until golden and thin. While the wafer is still warm and pliable, roll it around a cone-shaped mould to form that classic ice-cream cone shape. Let it cool, and hey presto, you’ve got homemade cone waffles ready for their starring role.
Now for the fun part of this waffle cones recipe, the finishing touches. Dip the rims in melted chocolate, sprinkle with chopped nuts, rainbow sprinkles, or crushed biscuits, or drizzle on caramel for an extra-sweet flourish. Each one becomes its own little edible masterpiece. And as for the filling, take your pick. Go for a classic French vanilla or strawberry ice cream, or try more ‘out there’ flavours, like avocado, sweetcorn, or rhubarb! You might prefer a scrumptious sorbet, like mango and banana, pomegranate and mint, or melon, and you may even fancy creating your own gelato bar for a super-cool party!
