Chinese Fortune Cookies

Yield 12

 

l egg

1/3 cup sugar

2 TB corn oil

2 TB water

1/4 cup cornstarch

 

Have fortunes prepared in advance. Beat egg on low speed until frothy. 

Beat in sugar, a little at a time, and 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 TB 

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 and 

cookies can be easily lifted from griddle with a spatula, 5 - 8 

minutes.. If they stick, the bottoms need to cooked a little longer.
Turn 

and cook the 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 and stir batter. Repeat.

Good luck. Be careful, I think I burned my finger a few times but they 

are great.
