Chocolate Cornets from Lucky Star

What part of the choco-cornet is the 'head'?"
I love the anime Lucky Star. Just enter the first episode and questions which we never really ponder about pop up: "Which end of the choco-cornet do you start from?" and "Which side's the head?" It's such a humorous slice-of-life kind of anime that I never get tired of. 

I never tried chocolate cornets before. I once bought a cream horn but the pastry is flaky and the filling is just some whipped cream with chocolate flakes mixed in. It just tasted too...oily :/

That was then, until I came across Cooking with Dog :D



I love Cooking with Dog ^^ It is because of the Japanese woman's channel that I started learning how to bake bread. At first, I was intimidated at the thought of baking bread, because you have to knead the dough and wait for it to proof and all that. But then, after making this cute seashell yumminess, I went all out and made loads, from melonpan to cinnamon rolls to Chinese steamed buns. 



I filled mine with some Belgian chocolate spread instead, because I was still not gutsy enough to attempt anything custard. I'll get there. In time :P

I found a written step-by-step recipe from the link above just so I could refer to it while making them delicious cornets. Achievement unlocked: Bread making XD A very nice snack to go with a Lucky Star marathon. You'll even learn a few tricks on how to eat one. I think? XD

An alternate recipe for this comes from Nerdy Nummies :D I love Nerdy Nummies. Due to the time zone difference, when Nerdy Nummies was said to come out on every Tuesday, I'm only able to catch it on Wednesday, haha XD Two recipes available now, so take your pick!
