Yes, you’ll need some piping bags and nozzles, plus a small strainer or sifter to dust with icing sugar. I highly recommend adding the heavy cream because it helps the filling whip up into a light texture and makes it easier to pipe. In 1929 a “newlywed” of Brisbane writes to Brisbane’s Sunday Mail, requesting instructions for making “cream horns, such as are sold for 3d each.” Sounds like she may have been looking to impress her new husband with her baking skills!

Starting at the pointed end, wrap a pastry strip around the mould in a spiral, with each line overlapping slightly. Repeat to cover all the moulds. Brush the pastry all over with the beaten egg and sprinkle with demerara sugar.Whisk the sugar, egg yolks and cornflour together in a large bowl. Pour a little of the hot milk onto the egg mixture, whisking continuously. Whisk in the rest of the hot milk until well combined into a custard, then return the mixture to the pan. Fold down the top third of the dough (so that it covers half of the frozen butter) and fold up the bottom third. Turn the dough through 90 degrees. Mini ice cream cones wrapped in foil might work.

Add the lime slices and boil for 2 minutes, then remove using a slotted spoon. Scrub the saucepan clean and rinse. Then replace the boiling water and lime slices and boil for 2 minutes. Repeat this process 4 times (this will remove any bitterness from the limes). After the final time, rinse out the pan and add the sugar and 100ml/3½fl oz water.
