How to Make Fortune Cookies
Fortune cookies are actually a Chinese American invention, but are always fun. Here is a recipe to make them. You can make your own fortunes to put inside.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup |
Flour |
1 |
Egg White, Beaten Stiff |
2 tbsp |
Brown Sugar |
2 tbsp |
Cooking Oil |
1 tbsp |
Cornstarch |
3 tbsp |

Combine flour, sugar, cornstarch, and oil. Fold in egg white. Add vanilla and water. In a small skillet (non-stick or lightly oiled), over medium heat, pour 1 tablespoon of batter, spreading it out into a 3" circle. Cook 4 minutes until lightly browned.
Turn with spatula and cook 1 more minute. Remove from the pan (careful - it will be hot!), and place paper fortune strip in center of circle. Fold in half over the edge of a glass, and then bend to form Fortune-cookie shape. Hold until cool, or place in an egg carton to hold the shape until the cookies firm up. |
