Hello Alberto,
Well, I cannot find the rack for sale, nor can I find ready made paper cones for them.
I did find two recipes in English.
The "Three Guys from Cuba" say that they made their capuchino rack out of two jelly
roll pans. They drilled holes in one of them to hold the paper cones, and they used
the second pan for the base. If you know someone who does light welding or brazing,
they could attach the top pan to the bottom pan for you with space between. them.
For their discussion of Capuchinos and one recipe, see:
Capuchinos
The other recipe that I found is below.
Phaed
Capuchinos
10 egg yolks
1 egg white
2 Tablespoons refined granulated sugar
4 teaspoons corn starch, sifted
Preheat oven to 375oF. Prepare the paper cones and place them
on the 'rack' with holes to stand them up.
Beat the egg yolks, the egg white and sugar vigorously for 15
minutes until it becomes very thick. Add the sifted corn starch
little by little while folding it in carefully.
Prepare a pastry bag and fit with a medium sized tip. Fill the
pastry bag with the batter mix and fill the paper cones up about
2/3 full.
Place in oven and bake for approximately 15 minutes or until the
tops are puffed/rounded and golden brown.
To avoid burning the points of the paper cones, place a shallow
baking pan to which you have added a small amount of water, on
the lower oven rack with the mold in the rack right above it.
After baking, peel off the paper cones, place on a baking sheet
and drench in syrup.
Yields approximately 20 capuchinos
Syrup for drenching:
3 cups refined granulated sugar
1-1/2 cups water
1 lemon - all the zest and a bit of juice
1 cinnamon stick
1 teaspoon vanilla
Dissolve sugar in the water to which you have added the cinnamon,
the lemon zest and a few drops of juice. Let it boil for about
3 minutes. Add the vanilla. Let it cool before drenching the
capuchinos.
Note: Some people like to add a bit of anise or anissette to the syrup.
