Title: Fortune Cookies #6
Categories: Chinese Cookie
Yield: 1 Servings
| YIELD: 18 COOKIES |
| 2 | | Eggs |
| 1/3 | c | Honey |
| 1/2 | c | Unbleached flour |
| 1/3 | ts | Banana; or lemon extract |
| 1 | | Beat the eggs with the egg beater or the electric |
| | | Mixer for two minutes. |
| 2 | | Add the honey gradually to the eggs and beat for 10 |
| | | MINUTES more. |
| 3 | | Slowly add the flour to the egg/honey mixture after |
the 10 minutes of beating. Keep beating until the mixture is smooth. 4. Add
the extract and beat for 2 more minutes. 5. Warm the frying pan over a low
heat (or turn the electric grill on to low). 6. Drop the cookie batter by
tablespoons into the frying pan or onto the electric grill. Make sure that
you leave space between cookies; you don't want them running into each
other in the pan. You will have to make several batches. 7. Toast the
cookies about 1/2 minute on each side. Turn them over with the spatula.
Keep cooking and turning them until they are light brown. This should only
take a few minutes. 8. As each panful is toasted and while the cookies are
still hot, remove the cookies, place them on a clean surface and place a
strip of your fortune telling paper into the center of each. Fold up* the
cookies. 9. Put the cookies on a rack to cool. 10. Make another batch.
Notes: FOLDING: This is a case of a picture being worth a thousand words,
but the general idea is: 1. Fold the cookie in half, (with the fortune
inside). 2. Bring the two "points/corners" together towards the back, as if
you were going to fold into quarters, but keep the pancake flat. "You can
have some fun with your family and friends with these cookies. Before you
begin baking them, write out fortunes on 18 Small pieces of paper (about
1/2x1-1/2 inches). Set these aside within easy reach because you will be
inserting them in the cookies as you make them. ++++-
