These sugar cones can be shaped free hand or using a cream horn if you have one. They can be made into any shape you want and firm up nicely as soon as they have cooled down.
Head straight on to the Recipe For Sugar Cones ♥
It is my responsibility to open the door at work and turn off the alarm. After I have done that, I turn on the lights and then lock up. Our one office light has an electrical fault. It causes the electricity to trip which in turn switches off our computer. I had asked Dave to put some tape over the switch but he had not done so. And for a few days in a row I forgot, and turned the switch on. The other morning I was concentrating very hard on not turning the light on. I opened the door, turned on the one light and proceeded to start locking up. Dave had a good chuckle as I had not turned the alarm off. And let me tell you, it is extremely loud when it goes off. The siren is right above the alarm panel and it screams.
Today’s inspiration ♥ Recipe For Sugar Cones ♥ can be found on Lavender and Lime Share on X
We only have 20 seconds to get the alarm turned off before it starts blaring. Luckily for me Dave was close by to remind me I had not disengaged the alarm. As soon as I had done so I went and fetched some tape and have put that over the switch. It serves as a constant reminder that in reality we need to get it fixed. It is pretty dark now in the mornings and I am sure as soon as it is too dark to work Dave will have it sorted out. I would love to get a sucrose free recipe for sugar cones sorted out. But, fructose is too hygroscopic to make the cones crunchy and firm. I managed to perfect this recipe and make the cone without a mould.
