  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1/2 cup superfine sugar
  • 3 tablespoons whole milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch salt
  • 2/3 all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted

waffle cones:

  • 1 egg plus 1 egg white
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon superfine sugar
  • 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted, 1/2 stick
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • melted semisweet or dark chocolate
  • cone rollers
  • waffle cone maker

Instructions
 

Stovetop sugar cones:

  • Place egg whites, sugar, milk, vanilla, and salt into a mixing bowl and whisk together.
  • Stir in flour and butter until fully incorporated and batter is smooth.
  • Lightly spray a nonstick skillet with a small amount of cooking spray.
  • Pour 2 1/2 tablespoons batter into the cold skillet and spread into a thin even layer.
  • Place skillet over medium heat and cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until base has set.
  • Flip and continue to cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Quickly lay sugar disc onto a clean towel and top with cone roller.
  • Using towel and cone roller, roll sugar disc into a cone shape and hold, seam side down for 1 to 2 minutes or until cone cools and hardens. (this must be done quickly as the disc will begin to harden almost immediately after leaving the skillet)
  • Cool skillet and repeat until all batter has been used.
  • Cool cones completely before dipping the tips in chocolate and setting on parchment until the chocolate hardens. Carefully store in an airtight container for up to three days.

Waffle cones:

  • Pour all ingredients into a mixing bowl and whisk together until no lumps remain.
  • Allow mixture to sit for 5 minutes.
  • Heat waffle cone maker to desired settings.
  • Pour 3 to 3 1/2 tablespoons batter into the center of the waffle cone maker and gently press lid closed, completely.
  • Cook waffle cones for 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Quickly lay waffle disc onto a clean towel and top with cone roller.
  • Using towel and cone roller, roll waffle disc into a cone shape and hold, seam side down for 1 to 2 minutes or until cone cools and hardens. (this must be done quickly as the disc will begin to harden almost immediately after leaving the skillet)
  • Cool skillet and repeat until all batter has been used.
  • Cool cones completely before dipping the tips in chocolate and setting on parchment until the chocolate hardens.
  • Carefully store in an airtight container for up to three days.

Here’s what’s Happening on the Homestead

Spring.  Just the word congers up images of blossoms and bunnies, eggs and chicks. . . . and catalogs filled with tableware, linens and all the fresh spring color imaginable. . . . so when my spring edition of the Pier1 catalog arrived – I was immediately drawn to devour every page.  The dinnerware, table settings, linens were, in typical Pier1 form, a wonderful feast for the eyes. pier1-catalog-page

But, there was one thing that especially drew my attention. . .their adorable folded napkins – especially the little bunnies in the upper right corner of the page. The catalog directed readers to log on to their website for instructions  – which I immediately did.

Upon arriving at the page, I  searched for the Bunny Fold pier-one-bunny-ears-directionsand found this.   I grabbed some cloth napkins (which happened to be from Pier1) and, following their directions, began folding.  It only took me to the 4th step to figure out that there was a real problem with the directions – they were rolling from the wrong side of the napkin. . . and by the final step – it was unmistakable.

wrong-way-bunny-napkinI had created this.  I took an unfolded napkin and the directions to my husband – who, as a builder, reads instructions for a living  . . . and his response was immediate – these are not right.  They have rolled from the long side and not the point – and used directions for a granny knot.  It needs to be an ‘overhand’ knot.  (50 plus years of scouting – he should know his knots!)

After making a few simple changes – rolling from the point and using an overhand knot – the finished product looked like the one in the Pier1 picture.  Success!    folded-bunny-napkin-perfection

 And so, as much as I LOVE Pier1, no one is infallible.  I have done my own set of instructions, including pictorials, for your use should you be wanting to try these little treasures.  Such a simple way to dress up a spring  or Easter table.

Just Click Here to go to the instructions.  Happy Spring!

Enjoy,

Kathy
