These egg waffles are cooked in a special pan that forms rows of little spheres, then rolled warm into cone shapes for holding scoops of ice cream. The batter is light and slightly eggy, with a thin crackly shell giving way to a soft custardy interior. Serve them fresh off the pan, filled with your favorite ice cream and toppings, for a street-food-style dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup tapioca starch
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup evaporated milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for brushing the pan
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 1/4 cup chocolate syrup
- 1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles
Method
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, tapioca starch, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, then add evaporated milk, water, oil, and vanilla, whisking until smooth.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until a smooth, lump-free batter forms. Let the batter rest 15 minutes.
-
Heat an egg waffle pan over medium heat on the stovetop and brush both sides lightly with oil.
-
Pour about 3/4 cup of batter onto the hot pan, close it, and cook, flipping every minute, until deep golden and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes.
-
Open the pan and immediately, while the waffle is still hot and pliable, roll it into a cone shape around your hands or a cone mold, pinching the bottom seam to seal.
-
Hold the cone in shape for about 30 seconds until it firms up, then set aside to cool completely on a rack.
-
Repeat with the remaining batter, re-oiling the pan between waffles, to form 8 cones total.
-
Once the cones are fully cool and crisp, fill each with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
-
Drizzle with chocolate syrup and top with rainbow sprinkles before serving immediately.
