Fortune Cookies
February, the month of love, and the St. Valentine’s day is day of showing our love to the people we care about!
So those of you who have the loved ones, do not put off preparing presents ! And even if you have already bought something, just make additional sweet surprise, it won`t leave anyone half-hearted.
Fortune cookies are a great chance to sweeten your relationship! If you are going to tell me you haven`t found that One person yet , cheer up (не унывайте) These cookies are also perfect for parties, B`Days or any other occasions if you want to make a surprise.
Ingredients:
• 2 large egg whites
• 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon pure almond extract
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil (растительного масла)
• 8 tablespoons flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch (кукурузный крахмал)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 8 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 3 teaspoons water
Preparation:
This fortune cookie recipe makes about 10 cookies.
1. Preheat oven to 150ºС. Grease (смазать) baking sheets with butter.
2. In a medium bowl, lightly beat the egg white, vanilla extract, almond extract and vegetable oil until light frothy (легкая пенка).
3. Sift the flour, cornstarch, salt and sugar into a separate bowl. Stir the water into the flour mixture.
4. Add the flour into the egg white mixture and stir until you have a smooth batter. The batter should not be runny (жидкое), but should drop easily off (легко стекать) a wooden spoon.
5. Scoop batter onto the cookie sheet, spacing them at least 3 inches apart. Form circles 8-10 sm. in diameter with the help of the spoon.
6. Bake until each cookie turns golden brown and they are easy to remove from the baking sheet with a spatula (лопаткой) (14 - 15 minutes).
7. Working quickly, remove the cookie with a spatula and flip it over in your hand. Place a fortune in the middle of a cookie. To form the fortune cookie shape, fold the cookie in half, then gently pull the edges downward over the rim of a glass, wooden spoon or the edge of a muffin tin. Place the finished cookie in the cup of the muffin tin so that it keeps its shape. Continue with the rest of the cookies.
