Bea, of Le Tartine Gourmande, was inspired to use her pizzelle maker to create some homemade cones to serve with a light, refreshing sorbet. Using the same principle that is applied to making tuiles, in which a warm, thin cookie is quickly shaped before it has the chance to cool, she twisted her crisp pizzelles into perfect, miniature cones. Normally, one might use a dedicated waffle cone maker to produce homemade cones, but getting multiple uses of out an appliance you already own is a brilliant idea. The tiny cones were just like thin, crispy waffles and Bea says that they went beautifully with the sorbets. An alternative use for pizzelles, which can also be bought in stores if you do not have the equipment to make them at home, is to use them to make crispy ice cream sandwiches! Debbie, at words to eat by, has a recipe for chocolate pizzelles for a flavor variation that might be perfect for pairing with ice creams, rather than fruity sorbets.

Words to eat by's writer, Debbie, is often a diet-minded food blogger, which makes her site a great reference for a delicious but not-as-bad-for-you cake or cookies. She knows, however, that certain things only happen once a year and they should not be skimped on. Her latke recipe is one of her once-a-year recipes and though its simplicity may belie the delicious taste of the results, Debbie's photo certainly does not. One look at it and I can taste the hot, oil crisped potato pancakes yielding to a moist, tender center in latke perfection.
Happy Hannukah, everyone!
