Instructions
 

Stovetop sugar cones:

  • 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.
