Recipe for "waffle-cone"

NAME

     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
     150 g     granulated sugar
     125 ml    butter, melted
     10 ml     vanilla
     150 g     flour
     10 ml     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 20 ml  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.
