Title: Chinese Fortune Cookies Iv
Categories: Dessert
Yield: 8 Cookies
| LISA CRAWLEY/TSPN |
| 1/4 | c | Flour |
| 2 | tb | Brown Sugar |
| 1 | tb | Corn Starch |
| | ds | Salt |
| 2 | tb | Cooking Oil |
| 1 | | Egg White; beaten til stiff |
| 1/4 | ts | Vanilla or Lemon Flavoring |
| 3 | tb | Water |
| 8 | | Paper "fortune" strips typed or cut from magazines |
Combine flour, sugar, cornstarch and salt. Stir in oil and fold in egg
white until mixture is smooth. Add flavoring and water and mix well. In a
small skillet, an electric fry pan (medium heat) or on a lightly greased
griddle, pour one tablespoon of batter, spreading it to a 3" circle. Cook
for 4 minutes or till lightly browned, turn with a spatula and cook for one
more minute. Batter will turn from beige to brown. Remove from griddle and
quickly place "fortune" paper in the center of the circle. Fold in half
over the edge of a glass, and then in half again. Hold for a few seconds
until cool, then place in an empty egg carton to help cookie keep its
shape. These get better with practice. This recipe makes 8-10 fortune
cookies. If they do not seem crisp enough for you, toast them in the oven
at 300 degrees for 10 minutes, or just let them "sit around" a few days.
