Ingredients:
1 egg white
1/8 tsp vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
1/4 C flour
1/4 C icing sugar
1/2 tsp oil
1 tsp milk
1 egg white
1/8 tsp vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
1/4 C flour
1/4 C icing sugar
1/2 tsp oil
1 tsp milk
Directions:
1) Preheat oven to 200 deg. Grease a cookie sheet. Write fortunes on strips of paper about 4" long and 1/2" wide.
2) Mix the egg white and vanilla until foamy but not stiff. Sift the flour, salt, and sugar and blend into the egg white mixture. Add in milk and oil.
3) Place tsps of the batter at least 4" apart on one of the prepared cookie sheets. Tilt the sheet to move the batter into round shapes about 3" in diameter. Be careful to make batter as round and even as possible. Do not make too many, because the cookie have to be really hot to form them and once they cool it is too late.
4) Bake for 5 min or until cookie has turned a golden color 1/2" wide around the outer edge of the circle. The center will remain pale. While one sheet is baking, prepare the other.
5) Remove from oven and quickly move cookie with a wide spatula and place upside down on a wooden board. Quickly place the fortune on the cookie, close to the middle and fold the cookie in half. Place the folded edge across the rim of a measuring cup and pull the pointed edges down, one on the inside of the cup and one on the outside. Place folded cookies into the cups of a muffin tin or egg carton to hold their shape until firm.
Remarks:
As stated, it's a failed attempt! There was no successful attempt after 3 tries, how disheartening. All my fortune strips have gone down the drain. Seems like lady luck isn't smiling on me today. Any fortune cookie with good advice for me?
To save myself from further disappointment, I mixed in the egg yolk, added enough flour to make a stiff dough and made drop-cookies which turned out to look like potatoes..
