Preparation

• Step 1 Pour the milk and water into a saucepan and heat to a scald.
• Step 2 Pour this into a large bowl (I used my kitchen aid bowl since I was going to knead it using the mixer), allow to cool to lukewarm.
• Step 3 Add in the oil, sugar and salt; mix with a wooden spoon till well blended.
• Step 4 Add in the beaten egg and 2 cups of flour; mix till smooth with a wooden spoon.
• Step 5 Add in the instant yeast and mix.
• Step 6 Allow to sit for 10 minutes uncovered.
• Step 7 Now, start to slowly add in more flour.
• Step 8 I added 1 1/2 cups...a total of 3 1/2 cups of flour.
• Step 9 I used my Kitchen Aid to do the mixing...I kneaded the dough for 6-8 minutes.
• Step 10 Add a tablespoon of oil to a clean bowl and place the dough into the bowl.
• Step 11 Turn over a few times to lightly coat all sides of the dough with the oil.
• Step 12 Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rest till the dough doubles in bulk, about 1 hour.
• Step 13 While the dough is rising, make the cones.
• Step 14 That is if you don't have any.
• Step 15 If you do...ah, take a break:) Make the cones out of card stock paper material or fliers that are a bit more sturdier.
• Step 16 Tape the cones and then cover them well with aluminum foil, so that no paper shows.
• Step 17 Set them aside.
• Step 18 Remove dough and knead a few time to release the gas.
• Step 19 Now cut the dough into 8 pieces.
• Step 20 Use a scale to make sure each piece is equal in weight (I didn't do this since I don't have a scale).
• Step 21 Allow the dough to rest for 5 minutes.
• Step 22 Take each piece of dough and roll into a 36 inch rope.
• Step 23 Roll the dough ropes around the greased 6 inch cream horn tubes.
• Step 24 Place onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and brush with the egg glaze.
• Step 25 Sprinkle sesame seeds or poppy seeds (or both).
• Step 26 Cover with plastic wrap.
• Step 27 Allow to rest for 30 minutes in a warm environment.
• Step 28 Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 20 - 22 minutes or till golden brown (mine took about 18 minutes).
• Step 29 Place onto a wire rack and allow to cool for a couple minutes before removing the tubes.
• Step 30 Fill them with your favorite filling and enjoy! They freeze very well.
