A cone is made by making a thin dough, which is then baked in a cone or stroopwafel maker and then rolled around a cone roller to create the iconic shape. The main difference between a waffle cone and a sugar cone is the use of brown sugar to create a darker and crunchier product. A sugar cone differs from a cake cone in that it has a pointed top and a sweeter flavor, rather than a flat bottom with a more neutral flavor. These types of ice cream cones are also called pie cups because pie cones are made from ingredients that taste similar to pie batter.
Some culinary historians believe the ice cream cone was invented by mistake and out of necessity. At the St. Louis World's Fair, a vendor at a booth right next to an ice cream vendor was selling crunchy, waffle-like pastries. The ice cream was so popular that the seller ran out of dishes. In a genius moment, the vendor quickly rolled one of his waffles into the shape of a waffle, allowed it to cool, and then handed it to the ice cream vendor. The customers were satisfied and so the ice cream cone was invented.
“I used a pizzelle maker and the waffles turned out great! It took a few tries to roll the waffles tight enough to not make a hole in the bottom. After a few hours they'll have lost some of their crispiness, so they're best eaten as soon as possible. — Danielle Centoni

1/4 teaspoon Salt
1/2 Cup dark brown sugar

Quickly remove the finished flat waffle from the appliance and roll tightly around a cone roller to shape. Make sure the bottom point is tight. Hold for three minutes to set the shape.

Place the formed cones on a wire rack to cool. Repeat with the rest of the dough.

recipe variation
Homemade ice cream cones can be made with a waffle cone maker, a stroopwafel maker, or even a pizza cell maker. The size of the cone depends on the size of the maker used.
recipe tips
Be careful when removing the pressed waffle from the appliance as it will be very hot. Wooden toast tongs work well for picking up the hot waffle. Be sure to roll it tightly around the cone maker and allow it to cool and set in the shape before removing. This allows the cones to keep their shape.
storage
Homemade ice cream cones can be stored at room temperature until ready to be filled and enjoyed. Note that humidity and wetness will cause the cones to soften. Therefore, do not wrap them and do not store them until they are completely cool and crispy. The cones can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.
