Show ingredients
- egg whites - 2 pcs;
- sugar - 90 g;
- flour - 60 g;
- vegetable oil - 3 tbsp;
- water - 2 tbsp;
- salt - ¼ tsp;
- vanilla sugar - 1/3 tsp.
Preparation
- Take 2 fresh chicken eggs. After washing the shells, dry them. Using a knife, crack the eggs into 2 halves. Carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks, placing the whites in a deep bowl. Try to ensure that no yolk gets into the egg whites. Whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt using a blender.
- Weigh the necessary amount of granulated sugar and pour it into the bowl with whipped egg whites. If you don't have a scale, you can use a 200-gram glass, filling half of it with sugar. Whip the egg whites together with the sugar until stable peaks form.
- Sift half of a 200-gram glass of flour. Add this flour to the whipped egg whites with sugar.
- Pour 2 tbsp of vegetable oil into the mixture and mix it with the oil.
- Mix the dough with a spatula until smooth. Add vanilla and water according to the recipe. Mix the dough with the water. The consistency of the dough will be similar to thin sour cream.
- Take a small baking tray for the fortune cookies so that you can place 2 or 4 templates on it. It is not possible to bake a large amount of cookies at once, as they harden quickly when done. We simply won’t have enough time to shape all the baked templates before they harden. Therefore, bake the cookies in small batches, but this is not a problem since the cookies bake very quickly. Grease the baking tray with fat. If using a silicone mold, there is no need to grease it. Using a teaspoon, place the dough in the form, spreading it into a thin circle. The circle should be 1-1.5 mm thick and about 7 cm in diameter. Bake the cookies for 5 minutes in the oven preheated to t=+180 ⁰C.
- Be careful not to over-bake the cookies in the oven, or they will break when forming into the desired shape. Remove the tray from the oven and quickly use a spatula to take one cookie while sending the tray with the remaining cookies back into the oven. While shaping the first cookie, the others should remain in the oven with the door open. Place a pre-prepared small note with predictions or pleasant sayings in the center of the cookie that you removed from the oven.
- Fold the cookie in half, thereby enclosing the note inside the cookie. Now press the cookie (on the fold side) against the edge of a glass to shape it accordingly.
- Hold the cookie for a few seconds, then let it cool in small containers that fit the size of the cookie.
- Before baking, the dough can be colored with food dye. For this, divide it into several parts. Add a specific food dye to each bowl with the dough, mixing it thoroughly. As a result, we get colorful and attractive fortune cookies.
