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.
