Title: CHINESE FORTUNE COOKIES 1
Categories: Cookies
Yield: 12 servings
1 Egg
1/3 c Sugar
2 tb Corn oil
2 tb Water
1/4 c Cornstarch
Have fortunes prepared in advance. Beat egg on low speed until
frothy. Beat in sugar, a little at a time, & continue beating until
mixture is a very light yellow and thick. Fold in corn oil. Blend
water and a little of the egg mixture into cornstarch, then stir into
the remaining egg mix.Heat heavy, well seasoned griddle to 350 deg,
or until drops of water bounce when dropped on the griddle. (For
griddles without temperature control, keep heat between low and
medium). Drop heaping T of batter on the griddle and spread with the
back of a spoon to about 4 in. wide and 1/8 in. thick. Cook
until edges are slightly brown & cookies can be easily
lifted from griddle with a spatula, 5 - 8 min. (If cookies
stick, bottoms need to be cooked a little longer). Turn
cookies carefully & cook other side until light brown. Be
careful to keep temperature even. Place fortune paper on
cookie as soon as it is removed from the griddle. Folding is
easier to do than to describe, but the end result is shaped like a
horseshoe. Fold opposite edges together, forming a
semicircle. Crease crosswise at the center of the straight
edge to form a flattened side, then bend the opposing corners
together for the traditional shape. Set in a small glass or
muffin tin until cookie cools and holds its shape.Wipe
griddle & stir batter. Repeat.
