Instructions

MAKING CONES

  • For making the cones you need - Kid's craft paper, scissor, aluminium foil and tape. Cut paper in square and roll it to form a cone as shown in the picture.
  • Keep on twisting till it forms a cone shape.Apply tape to secure the edges.
  • Use a scissor to trim off its pointy top. If you want big cones trim just a tiny bit but if you prefer small cones like the one shown in the picture below, then trim to a point where the pointy head starts. Continue making couple of more for the recipe.
  • Start rolling the cones in aluminum foil and secure it again with tape.
  • Ended up making couple of more for myself and with every cone - my cone wrapping method improved :)) cones are ready to be wrapped in dough.

WRAPPING CONES

  • Knead the dough by combining all the ingredients. Add water carefully - we don't want the dough to be too watery.

  • Make small balls and roll out the dough in a form of a big circle. Using a pizza cutter or knife cut out thin strips (as shown in the pic).
  • Starting from the top start wrapping the cones. If you run out of a strip before wrapping the whole cone- start using the other one. At the end wrap the cone and seal it at the bottom.
  • You can use another method to roll it - instead of cutting strips, cut out a square from the rolled out dough and starting from one end keep rolling the cone as it wrap itself around the dough. Seal the end part by squeezing the dough.
  • Once the dough is wrapped - press the dough firmly around the cones so that there is no gap left.
  • Wrapped cones are ready for a bath in oil.

BAKED CONES

  • Preheat oven at 300 degree F. For baking cones - roll out the dough and cut them in strips.
  • Now roll each strip up.
  • Combine each strip and form a big loop..
  • Keep the cone at one end and start rolling the dough around the scone.
  • Wrap the full scone and trim the excess off.
  • All wrapped cones ready for baking.
  • Brush the scones with butter and sprinkle some sesame seeds on top.
  • Bake for 15 - 20 minutes.
  • Allow them to cool off and by applying little pressure separate the cones from its molds.
  • Baked cones are ready to be filled.

FRIED CONES

  • Heat oil in a pan. Using a tong carefully drop cones one by one into the hot oil.
  • Keep frying till golden brown. CAREFULLY TILT THE CONE IN SUCH A WAY THAT ALL THE OIL THAT WAS FILLED INSIDE THE CONE IS DRAINED OUT. Place it on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
  • Keep frying all the cones.
  • Allow the cones to sit for a while. When cooled just hold he bottom part and pull out the cone molds.
  • Cones are ready to be filled with the stuffing of your choice.
