Fortune Cookies
Thanks very much to Wendy Baker, who posted this recipe to the Guiding Mailing List!
Ingredients:
2 eggsDirections: Beat the eggs in an electric mixer. Add the sugar and beat again at high speed until mixture is thick and foamy. Stir in the extract and fold in the oil In a separate bowl combine the water and a small amount of cornstarch. Stir together until smooth, then add to the rest of the egg mixture. Heat a griddle over medium heat (we used an electric frying pan) then drop one tablespoonful of batter, spreading them with the back of the spoon into four inch circles. Cook about 2 1/2 minutes on each side, turning with a spatula or until the cookies are golden with lightly browned edges. Working with one cookie at a time, remove them from the griddle, place the fortune in the cookies centres, then pinch the cookie edges together and pull the corners towards each other for the proper shape.
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract or 1/2 tsp. almond extract
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup water
