Instructions

Prepare the Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and sugar. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until well combined and smooth. Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes.
Preheat Waffle Cone Maker: Heat your waffle cone maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease with non-stick spray if necessary.
Cook the Cones: Spoon about 2 tablespoons of batter into the center of the waffle cone maker. Close and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. The exact time may vary depending on your machine.
Shape the Cones: While still hot, carefully remove the waffle from the iron and immediately shape it around a cone mold. Hold for about 30 seconds to set the shape. Place on a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve: Once completely cool and crisp, fill with your favorite ice cream, then enjoy right away!

Notes

Work quickly when shaping, as the cones harden fast as they cool.
You can dip the edges in melted chocolate for an extra treat.
Store cooled cones in an airtight container for up to 3 days to maintain crispness.
If you don’t have a cone mold, use a piece of thick paper shaped into a cone and wrapped in foil.
For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon to the batter.
