Ice Cream Cones

2 egg whites
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
3 tablespoons melted sweet butter

Line cookie sheets with wax paper or aluminum foil. Put egg whites in a bowl and whip until stiff. Fold in half the sugar and whip again until stiff. Fold in remaining sugar, then the flour and butter. Drop spoonsful of the mixture onto the cookie sheets and bake in oven preheated to 400 degrees F for about 3 to 4 minutes or until light brown round the edges. Carefully remove from the tray with a spatula and mold around lightly greased funnel molds. Let cool, then carefully slip off the molds.

Makes about 14.

Coated Ice Cream Cones:
Brush outside of the cones with egg white and dip in colored sprinkles, toasted or colored coconut, very finely chopped nuts or chocolate sprinkles. Or brush the cones with melted semisweet chocolate.
