I can make that

You see, tonight is MacAttack's Trophy Dinner (see tomorrow's blog for more details) and she has requested Nachos (???) and ice-cream in cones. So, having spotted a recipe in one of my collection of a thousand Recipe Publications, a recipe for Honey Wafers - I figured, oh hell, I can make that!!

So have spent the afternoon TRYING to replicate said Wafers....

they start flattened out, then you have to race the clock, and not burn your fingers, and roll them into dear little Haagenvaz cones...except mine kept collapsing FLAT. As I do not possess a steel conical type Madonna bra or Haaganvaz cone rolling instrument, I had to improvise with good old paper towels.

I hope they hold together - and more to the point hope when I pull the paper towel stuffing out it does not leave fibrous paper bits stuck all over the inside of my wafer cones (but I'm sure the ice-cream filling will cover it up).

Recipe is below for any goose who would like to try their hand at Honey Wafer cones...

75g butter, chopped

1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1/4 cup honey

1/2 cup plain flour

1 teasp ground cinnamon

1. Preheat oven to 180/160 Fan Forced. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper.

2. Combine butter, sugar and honey in saucepan over low heat. Stir until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat :stir in sifted flour and cinnamon. Cool slightly.

3. Roll level tbsp of mixture into balls. (I didn't bother with this step - just spooned dollops of mixture onto baking paper) Place on prepared trays about 10cm apart. Flatten to about 7cm diameter (If you think I measured any of this you are sadly mistaken)  Bake for about 8 mins or until wafers are browned around edges. Cool on tray fro 1-2 mins. Working quickly, wearing asbestos gloves preferrably, roll wafers into cones shapes, or if you possess a Jean Paul Gaultier undergarment, roll it around that. Palce, seam-side down, on a wire rack to cool completely. If they fall flat, stuff with paper towels and hope to God the paper doesn't then stick in flaky patches to the inside of the cone.

Fill cones with ice-cream and top with sprinkles or that hard setting choc sauce which Deb prefers a gazillion times over than sprinkles.

Enjoy.
