Ingredients for cones:

- 6 eggs (approximately 400 g)
- 400 g sugar
- 400 g flour
- 400 g margarine
- 1 packet of vanilla essence (or 1 packet of vanilla sugar)

Ingredients for cream:

- 1 l milk
- 200 g sugar
- 4 eggs
- 200 g flour
- 1 packet of vanilla essence
- 1 package of margarine or butter (approximately 200 g)

Step 1: Preparing the dough for cones

We start by preparing the dough for the cones. In a large bowl, beat the eggs together with the sugar until you obtain a homogeneous mixture of a light color. This step is essential as the sugar will dissolve better in the warm mixture, resulting in a finer texture. Then, gradually add the flour and melted margarine, mixing constantly. It is important to achieve a creamy consistency so that the cones are crispy but not too hard.

Tip: If you want fluffier cones, using good quality margarine is essential. Also, if you prefer a more intense vanilla flavor, feel free to add more essence or vanilla sugar.

Step 2: Shaping the cones

To shape the cones, you will need a special mold. This can be made of metal or wood, but it is important to heat it well over the fire. So, place the mold on the fire, allowing it to heat up well. Using a teaspoon, add a portion of dough to the mold, ensuring it is evenly distributed. Close the mold and bake the cone for a few seconds on each side. They bake very quickly, so you need to be careful!

After baking, place the cone on a surface and, while it is still warm, carefully shape it. It is recommended that this process be done by two people, as handling hot cones can be quite tricky.

Step 3: Preparing the vanilla cream

While the cones cool, you can prepare the cream. In a saucepan, mix the eggs with the sugar, then gradually add the milk, stirring continuously. At this point, it is essential to dissolve the sugar well to avoid lumps. Add the sifted flour gradually, stirring constantly, and finally, the vanilla essence.

Put the saucepan over medium heat and stir occasionally. When the cream begins to thicken, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly. Then, add the margarine or butter, mixing well until it completely melts into the warm cream.

Step 4: Filling the cones

Once the cream has cooled, it is time to fill the cones! Use a piping bag or a spoon to add cream to each cone, being careful not to overfill them. These cones can also be filled with whipped cream if you want to add a touch of freshness and lightness.

Final tip: If you notice that the cones become harder when cooling, don’t worry! They will soften slightly once filled with cream.

Variations and combinations

To add a touch of originality, you can try various fillings. For example, a chocolate cream or a mix of berries could transform these cones into an even more tempting dessert. You can also serve the cones with a caramel or chocolate sauce for an extra flavor boost.

Frequently asked questions

1. Can I use another type of fat instead of margarine?
Yes, you can replace margarine with butter, but keep in mind that it may slightly change the texture and taste of the cones.

2. What types of creams can I use for filling?
In addition to vanilla cream, you can experiment with chocolate creams, lemon cream, or even fruit fillings.

3. How can I keep the cones fresh?
Keep the filled cones in an airtight container at room temperature. If you fill them with whipped cream, it is recommended to consume them on the same day.
