Fortune Cookie Recipe
Inspired by this virtual fortune cookie, I set about looking for how to make real Chinese fortune cookies. Here is a great recipe I found:
Ingredient List:
1 medium egg white.
1/4 cup of sugar.
1/3 cup of flour.
2 tablespoons of melted butter.
1 tablespoon of water.
1/4 teaspoon of vanilla.
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350F.
Grease cookie sheets.
In a suitably sized bowl, add the egg white, sugar, butter, water and vanilla; mix together.
Add flour and stir.
Drop by teaspoonful onto cookie sheets.
Swirl the batter around with a spoon back until cookies are spread thinly and are close to transparent.
Bake for about 4 minutes or until lightly browned on edges.
Remove from the oven and quickly place a fortune in the cookie, then fold in half, then in half again, making the classic fortune cookie shape.
Allow to cool.
