Steps:
- Write fortunes on strips of paper. Be creative with your fortunes or go to... http://joshmadison.com/2008/04/20/fortune-cookie-fortunes/ or http://www.heavy.com/comedy/2011/01/the-20-funniest-fortune-cookie-fortunes/
- Put oven rack in middle position & preheat to 400 degrees F. Butter a 6" wide strip lengthwise across middle of 2 baking sheets (from one short side to the other).
- Sift together flour, five-spice powder, & salt into a bowl & stir in sugar.
- Whisk egg whites in a bowl just until foamy. Add flour mixture & whisk until smooth.
- Put 2 tsp batter on 1 side of buttered area of 1 baking sheet & spread evenly into a round about 3 1/2" in diameter using back of a spoon or a small offset spatula. Place 2 tsp more batter on other half of buttered area & form another round. Bake rounds until golden around edge & paler gold in center, 5 - 6 minutes.
- Place an empty muffin tin & drinking glass next to your work surface. Remove rounds from oven & working quickly, flip 1 cookie over on baking sheet with a spatula. Transfer same cookie to a work surface, then put a fortune in center of inverted cookie & fold cookie in half (cookie will be hot). Lift up cookie with both hands by corners (important!) & press center of folded bottom edge perpendicularly against the rim of a glass, making a crease. Continue folding in same direction to bring corners together to create a C shape. Hold for a few seconds while cookie cools & shape sets, then set inside a muffin tin hole to cool. Quickly invert & fold second hot cookie, this time working on baking sheet to keep cookie warm & malleable.
- Make 2 more cookies in same manner on second buttered baking sheet, then continue with remaining batter, using a buttered cool baking sheet for each batch.
- Eventually, you'll get this process down & be able to do 3 - 6 at a time. When I do six, I stagger putting the tray's in by one minute, to make up for the work time. Enjoy!
