Allergy Free Waffle Cones
Allergy free waffle cones (free of the top 8 allergens) can be difficult to find and expensive as well. Since I'm a big fan of ice cream cones and even more of a fan of kitchen gadgets, I just had to get a waffle cone maker. I imagined my house smelling like an old fashioned ice cream shop with the aroma of freshly baked waffle cones wafting through the air. Within an hour of its delivery, I was working on an allergy free waffle cone batter. At first, it seemed as though my batter might not work when it ran out the sides but, after waiting a minute for it to bake, I was pleasantly surprised with a near-perfect cone. Although I hadn't made any allergy free ice cream yet, my son wanted a cone at once. I gave him a plain cone which he taste tested immediately. I knew I had a winner when he said, "Mmmm, Mommy, this is good!" And with that my heart melted like ice cream on a hot, summer day. If you miss ice cream cones, purchasing a waffle cone maker might just be the ticket. Sure, it's another kitchen gadget that you'll have to find a space for and it does require a small investment up front but the satisfaction of filling yet another void in your or your child's list of treats is well worth it!
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons Ener-G Foods Egg Replacer 6 tablespoons warm water 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup sugar 1-1/3 cups wheat free all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum 4 tablespoons cooking oil (I use butter flavored grapeseed oil) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/4 cup water
Directions:
1) In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg replacer and warm water until light and fluffy. Add the salt and sugar and whisk together until fully incorporated. Next, add the flour and xanthan gum and stir until flour is moistened. Add the oil and water and stir well. The batter should be the consistency of muffin batter.
2) Using a waffle cone maker, cook waffle cones (use about 3 tablespoons of the batter) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Makes about 10 cones.
You can get your hands on a waffle cone maker from Amazon.com through the Food Allergy Store.
