Easy to shape while warm and customizable in size, these cones make every scoop special.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites, granulated sugar, melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
Gradually sift the all-purpose flour into the wet mixture, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Continue whisking until the batter is smooth and thick, but pourable.
Spoon 2 tablespoons of batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter into a thin 6-inch circle, ensuring an even thickness.
Repeat the process, leaving at least 2 inches of space between each circle. Depending on the size of your baking sheet, you may need to bake in batches.
Bake in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes, or until the edges of the circles are golden brown.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately (while still hot) lift one circle with a spatula. Wrap it around a cone mold or the end of a clean, thick, cylindrical object. Press the seam gently to secure and hold for a few seconds until set.
Continue shaping the remaining circles, reheating them briefly in the oven if they cool and become difficult to shape.
Allow the cones to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, store in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
Serve with your favorite ice cream and enjoy!
