Abstract

A heat processed food base which is formed by heating a batter which is obtained by kneading wheat flour, an oil or fat, sugar, an edible surfactant such as egg, and water and which is poured onto a heating plate and spread thereon, the heating being performed between heated plantens at a certain temperature for a given time in such manner that the starch of the batter is changed to α-starch, and the protein therein is coagulated by heat, and a small amount of water remains, so that edible vessels having crispness and good taste, for instance for use as ice cream cones, can be formed by a second baking, at a higher temperature.

Claims

1. A supply of intermediate products which can be individually toasted to provide crisp edible vessels, comprising:

a plurality of disk-like sheets of material partially baked from a batter mixture of the following ingredients;
