HOW IS A FORTUNE COOKIE MADE RECIPES

Steps:

• You will also need: 2 1/2 x 1/2-inch fortune strips.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Grease a cookie sheet thoroughly.
• Whip the egg whites on low speed until light and foamy.
• Blend in the sugar and continue to beat until soft peaks form.
• Pour in the melted butter, flour, salt, and extracts; mix until well combined.
• Drop a tablespoon of the batter onto the prepared cookie sheet.
• Using the back of a spoon, spread the batter evenly into very thin 3-inch rounds.
• Alternatively, use the lid of a jar with a 3-inch circle punched out as a template, pour the batter in the ring, and remove.
• Because you must work quickly to shape these cookies, bake just 3 at a time.
• Bake for about 5-8 minutes or until the edges are a light golden color.
• Remove the cookies with a spatula and place on a work surface.
• Lay a fortune in the lower middle of the cookie, and fold in half to make a semi-circle.
• Bend the edges up toward each other to make a crescent.
• Drag the crease across the rim of a small measuring cup, with the ends facing down.
• Cool in mini muffin tins to hold shape until crisp.
• Repeat with remaining batter.

Steps:

• Melt brown sugar with hot water and set aside.
• Combine flour with baking powder. Add the sugar water. Stir the batter in one direction for around 3-5 minutes. The longer; the better.
• Pour batter to molds. I will recommend using a scoop and pour the batter directly to the center of the molds from higher places and let the batter flat by itself. Set aside.
• Bring enough water to boil in a large wok or deep pot, set up the steamer and place the batter in when the water begins to boil. I would suggest add more water with the level just below the moulds.
• Cove the lid and continue steam for around 20 to 25 minutes. The blossoming should occur around 10 minutes. So in the first 10 minutes, use high fire and you can choose to slow down your fire slightly or use high fire during the whole process (depending on how much water you added for steaming and do not burn your wok).
