Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups kale, chopped
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup grated cheese
- 1 egg
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Thoroughly wash and finely chop the kale leaves, removing any tough stems.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and pepper. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
- Crack the egg into the well and gradually add water, whisking to create a smooth batter without lumps.
- Fold the chopped kale and grated cheese into the batter, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
- Preheat a waffle cone maker or a specialized waffle cone griddle to medium-high heat.
- Lightly grease the waffle cone surface with cooking spray or a thin layer of oil to prevent sticking.
- Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the center of the waffle cone maker, spreading it evenly.
- Close the waffle cone maker and cook for 3-4 minutes until the edges are golden brown and crisp.
- Carefully remove the waffle cone and immediately shape it around a cone mold while still warm and pliable.
- Allow the shaped waffle cones to cool and crisp up for 1-2 minutes before serving.
- Repeat the process with remaining batter, adjusting heat as needed to prevent burning.
- Serve warm as a savory appetizer or alongside soups and salads.
Tips
- Chop kale super finely to ensure even distribution and a smooth batter consistency.
- Use a non-stick waffle cone maker or griddle for best results and easy removal.
- Keep the batter thickness consistent by using a 1/4 cup measure for each cone.
- Work quickly when shaping cones, as they become less pliable as they cool.
- If you don't have a cone mold, use a clean, rolled paper cone or a metal cream horn mold.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like sharp cheddar or parmesan for varied flavor profiles.
- Serve immediately for maximum crispiness, or store in an airtight container and reheat briefly in the oven.
- For extra flavor, consider adding herbs like thyme or rosemary to the batter.
