2 tablespoons corn oil
2 tablespoons water
1/4 cup cornstarch
Have fortunes prepared in advance. Beat egg on low speed until
frothy.Beat in sugar, a little at a time, & continue
beating until mixture is a very light yellow and thick. Fold in
corn oil. Blend water and a little of the egg mixture into
cornstarch,
then stir into the remaining egg mix.Heat heavy, well seasoned
griddle to 350 deg, or until drops of water bounce when
dropped on the griddle. (For griddles without temperature
control, keep heat between low and medium). Drop heaping T of
batter on the griddle and spread with the back of a spoon to
about 4 in. wide and 1/8 in. thick. Cook until edges are slightly
brown & cookies can be easily lifted from griddle with a
spatula, 5 - 8 minutes. (If cookies stick, bottoms need to be
cooked a little longer). Turn cookies carefully & cook other
side until light brown. Be careful to keep temperature even.
Place fortune paper on cookie as soon as it is removed from the
griddle.Folding is easier to do than to describe, but the end
result is shaped like a horseshoe. Fold opposite
edges together, forming a semicircle.Crease crosswise at the
center of the straight edge to form a flattened side, then bend
the
opposing corners together for the traditional shape.Set in a
small glass or muffin tin until cookie cools and holds its shape.
Wipe griddle & stir batter. Repeat.
