Fortune cookies were invented in China - it was there that they first began to make "moon cakes" with rice paper embedded in them, on which sacred prophecies were written. This interesting sweetness later became popular in other countries as well. Especially, by the way, such cookies will be needed for the New Year and Christmas, when faith in miracles and New Year's predictions is especially strong.
It is necessary
- - 4 egg whites;
- - 1 teaspoon of salt;
- - 1 tbsp. a spoonful of flour;
- - 2/3 cup sugar;
- - 2 pinches of nutmeg;
- - a pinch of vanilla;
- - 20 fortune notes.
Instructions
Step 1
Before you start baking cookies, first think carefully and make predictions. It is best to print them using a laser printer, as penned notes may not look very aesthetically pleasing when wrapped in hot biscuits. Fortune notes should be on narrow rectangular sheets.
Step 2
To make fortune cookies, grind the sugar into a powder, which is mixed with flour, salt and nutmeg. In another bowl, beat the egg whites and vanilla well.
Step 3
Sift the dry mixture into a bowl with proteins and mix everything thoroughly until a homogeneous consistency is obtained to make a thin, smooth dough. Preheat the oven to 180 ° C.
Step 4
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and brush with a little butter. Then place a tablespoon of the dough on the paper and spread it into a circle with a diameter of 80 mm. Make several such circles, place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 5 minutes, until the edges of the cookies are brown.
Step 5
Take out the finished cookies, remove from the baking sheet, immediately put the fortune-telling notes into it, fold the baking in half. Bend the folded side over the rim of the mug so that the cookie takes the desired shape. You need to do everything very quickly and carefully, while the baking is still hot and pliable, so it is not recommended to bake more than 4 circles at a time, or you should shape the sweetness with helpers.
Step 6
Fold the finished cookies, from which the tips of the notes should look out, into a muffin tin and place it on the festive table.
