How to Make It
1. Step
In a large bowl, stir together the water and 1 teaspoon sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the water mixture and rest for 5 minutes, or until it becomes foamy.
2. Step
Sift together the flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, and the salt over the yeast mixture.
3. Step
Add the milk, 3 tablespoons melted butter, and the egg yolks. Stir until the dough comes together in a ball. Add more flour if dough is too sticky.
4. Step
Knead the dough for five minutes, or until the dough is smooth on the outside and springs back when pressed on with your fingers.
5. Step
Grease bowl with the oil, return the dough to the bowl, and cover with plastic wrap.
6. Step
Let rise for one hour at room temperature, or until the dough has doubled in size.
7. Step
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
8. Step
Cut the dough into eight equal parts.
9. Step
Roll out each piece of dough into a long, thick strip.
10. Step
Fold a sheet of aluminum foil in half and, starting from the bottom right hand corner, roll into a cone shape, measuring 6 inches (15 cm) long and about ⅛-inch (3 mm) thick around the opening. Repeat to make 7 more cones.
11. Step
Wrap the dough strips around each aluminum cone.
12. Step
Arrange the cones point-up in a muffin tin. Brush with egg wash.
13. Step
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
14. Step
Cool for 10 minutes.
15. Step
On a large plate, mix the cinnamon with the remaining sugar.
16. Step
Brush the cones with the remaining melted butter.
17. Step
Carefully remove the aluminum foil.
18. Step
Roll the cone in cinnamon sugar.
19. Step
Fill the cone with melted chocolate, letting the excess drip out. Top with ice cream, or dip the edge in chocolate, then roll in rainbow sprinkles, if desired. Top with ice cream.
