We’re just a few weeks away from the official start of Autumn but in my neck of the woods, it sure doesn’t feel like it.
Sweltering heat and hair-killing humidity are still very much with us, right now.
I’m looking forward to cooler temps.
Until then, I’m going to keep cool with ice-cream and homemade waffle cones.

Now, I’ve sung the praises of homemade waffle cones many times around here before.
I can honestly say, once I started making my own cones, I have never gone back to store-bought again.
And I’ve been making my own for more than a decade now.
Yes, my waffle cone press is still kicking and running as good as new.
Homemade Waffle Cones
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 cup cake flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat waffle cone press.
- Beat the eggs and salt in a small bowl.
- Add the sugar and beat until well combined.
- Stir in the oil.
- Fold in the cake flour and incorporate well until all lumps are smoothed.
- Spoon about 3 tablespoons of batter onto the press and heat.
- Refer to instruction manual on temperature level settings.
- Waffle cone presses have various heat settings that determine how light or dark your waffle cones will bake.
- Enjoy.
I’ve made tons of waffle cones over the years and featured them on this blog.
Over the years, I’ve made batches and given them away (along with a box of ice cream), as housewarming gifts. They’re always a big hit.
Also, check out my homemade cones HERE and see how to make your own paper cone holders.
If you want to add a patriotic twist to your homemade cones, you can see my red, white and blue version HERE.

Thanks for popping by.
I hope you’re inspired to give Homemade Waffle Cones a try.
See you back here next time.
Stay safe and be well. ♥
How cute!! I can picture the cones at Halloween filled with goodies. How in heavens can you keep from eating three and four. I can hear the crunch now. the waffle cones are so much better than the regular cones. And your homemade I’m sure is better by far. Hope our fall is a pretty one and things get back on track. Sending love and hugs!!
Marisa, that is such a good idea for Halloweeen treats.
My kids do break up the waffle cones and eat them plain all the time.
Like you, I’m also looking forward to things getting back on track. Hopefully sooner, than later.
Stay safe and well on your end.

What a great idea: making your own waffle cones! I recently purchased David Lebovitz’s ice cream cookbook, The Perfect Scoop, and have been making my way through it trying a new ice cream recipe each week. Homemade cones will be a great addition. Do you happen to know if your waffle cone maker can also be used to make waffle bowls or is it limited to cones? Thank you, in advance!
Thanks, Kisha.
I have that same book by David Lebovitz.
Indeed you can make waffle cone bowls using the same press.
The waffle cone comes off the hot press in a large circle shape.
All you have to do is carefully press the hot waffle cone into a small shape and as the cone cools, it will take on the shape of the bowl.
If you scroll through this post, I have several links to other waffle cone posts. Check out the one that is titled 3 ways to make waffle cones and you’ll be able to see the demo.
Good luck with your cones. Your friends and family will love them. xoxo
I’m thinking ice cream tacos……❤️
You’re right. That’s a great idea.
I’m imagining that an ice cream taco would look a bit like a banana split with lots of yummy toppings fitted inside a waffle cone.
Of course, that would require that the cone be shaped while it’s still warm and right off the press.
But that’s really doable. I may try that.
Thanks for the light bulb moment-lol.
Happy day to you. xoxo
