Fortune Cookies
1/4 cup sifted cake flour
2 Tbs sugar
1 Tbs cornstarch
dash salt
2 Tbs vegetable oil
1 egg white
1 Tbs water
Before preparing cookies, write fortunes with pre-
dictions of good health, prosperity and happiness
on small slips of paper. Of, if you have a wicked
sense of humor, write fortunes that one wouldn't find
in traditional fortune cookies.
Sift together the flour, sugar, cornstarch and salt.
Add oil and egg white; stir until smooth. Add water
and mix well. Make one cookie at a time by pouring
1 tablespoon of the batter on a lightly greased
skillet or griddle. Spread to a 3 1/2 inch circle.
Cook over low heat about 4 minutes or until lightly
browned. Turn with a wide spatula; cook 1 minute more.
Working quickly, place cookie on a pot holder. Put
paper strip with fortune in the center; fold cookie
in half. Then bend folded cookie over the edge of a
bowl to give it the "C" shape. Place in muffin pan
to cool. Makes 8 cookies.
Tip: Wear cotton gloves when handling cookies so you
can shape them quickly without getting burned. If the
cookie hardens before it is shaped, put in a warm oven
to soften.
