You’ll need a waffle cone maker—yes, that gadget you got for a wedding gift or found at a thrift store. If you don’t have one, a non-stick pan works too (think: fancy homemade taco shells for your ice cream). For shaping, use a rolling pin or a wooden spoon handle to curl the warm cone. Warning: you will burn your fingers once. Learn from my pain: use a clean dish towel to handle the hot cone.

The Rolling Game (Where the fun really starts.)
Pour a small ladle of batter onto your preheated cone maker. Close the lid and wait about 60 seconds—until it’s golden brown and smells like a carnival. Lift it off, flip it over, and quickly roll it into a cone shape. You have about 15 seconds before it hardens. This is not stressful; it’s a joyful race against time!
If it cracks? That’s a waffle bowl waiting to happen. Crumble it over your sundae and call it “artisanal.” Seriously, there are no mistakes here, only happy accidents.
