Ingredients

• ✓ salt
• cooking spray
• egg white
• vanilla extract
• all-purpose flour
• white sugar

Instructions

1. 1 Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Generously grease two cookie sheets with cooking spray.
2. 2 Write fortunes on strips of paper about 4 inches long and 1/2 inch wide.
3. 3 Mix egg white and vanilla together in a bowl until foamy but not stiff. Sift in flour, sugar, and salt; stir until blended.
4. 4 Drop two spoonfuls of batter at least 4 inches apart onto one prepared cookie sheet. Tilt the sheet to spread batter into 3-inch-diameter circles.
5. 5 Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are pale in the center and golden on the outer 1/2-inch edge, about 5 minutes.
6. 6 Remove cookies from the oven. Quickly lift one cookie with a wide spatula and place upside down onto a wooden board. Place a fortune on the cookie (close to the middle) and fold cookie in half around the paper.
7. 7 Place the folded edge over the rim of a measuring cup or coffee mug and pull the pointed edges down, one inside the cup and one outside. Place cookie into a muffin tin or egg carton to hold its shape as it cools. Repeat to form and fill the second cookie.
8. 8 While the first batch is baking in Step 5, repeat Step 4 to form two more cookies on the second cookie sheet. When you are shaping the first batch of baked cookies in Step 6, bake the second batch. Repeat until all cookies are baked and shaped.

Ingredients

• ✓ salt
• vegetable oil
• milk
• cake flour
• egg yolk
• vanilla extract
• egg white
• white sugar

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line a 9-inch square cake pan with enough parchment paper so that it overhangs all four sides of the pan; this will make removal of the cake easier.
2. 2 Heat oil and milk in a small pan until warm. Pour sifted cake flour into the pan and whisk until combined; batter will be pretty sticky. Whisk in egg yolks, one at a time. Add vanilla and salt and whisk until well combined. Make sure there are no air bubbles.
3. 3 Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until foamy. Gradually add sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
4. 4 Pour egg yolk mixture on top of the stiff egg whites. Gently fold everything together using a spatula until batter is light and foamy. Slowly pour batter into the prepared cake pan. Knock cake pan against the kitchen counter twice to remove all air bubbles and smooth out the top with a spatula.
5. 5 Set the baking dish into a deep baking pan. Add enough hot water to the baking pan so that the baking dish sits 1/2-inch deep in water.
6. 6 Bake in the preheated oven in the hot water bath until the cake is set, 45 to 50 minutes. Remove from oven and lift cake from the pan using the parchment paper. Serve warm or allow to cool before serving.

Ingredients

• ✓ salt
• white sugar
• milk
• active dry yeast
• bread flour
• egg
• vegetable oil
• water
• sesame seed

Instructions

1. 1 Whisk milk and sugar together in a large mixing bowl until sugar is dissolved. Stir in yeast, and let stand until a frothy layer forms on the milk, about 10 minutes. Stir in flour, most of the beaten eggs (reserve about 1 tablespoon of egg in a small bowl for later), vegetable oil, and salt; mix well until thoroughly combined.
2. 2 Turn dough out onto a well-floured work surface, and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. The dough should be slightly sticky. Place the dough into a large oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, place the bowl in a warm spot, and let rise until doubled, 2 to 3 hours.
3. 3 Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
4. 4 Remove dough from the bowl, and knead it briefly to punch down, about 1 minute. Roll dough out into a rope, and cut it into 12 equal-sized pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, and use your fingers to flatten each ball into a disk about 5 to 6 inches in diameter.
5. 5 Place about 2 tablespoons of your favorite bun filling in the center of the dough circle, and bring the edges of dough up over the filling. Pinch and twist the top together to seal in filling. Make sure there are no open spots. Place each filled bun seam-side down on the parchment paper while you finish making the rest of the buns. Cover the filled buns with plastic wrap, and let them rise for 30 minutes.
6. 6 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Beat reserved beaten egg with water until combined; brush the top of each bun with egg wash and sprinkle a few sesame seeds on top.
7. 7 Bake buns in the preheated oven until the tops are browned and shiny, turning the baking sheet around halfway through baking, for 20 to 30 minutes. Serve warm.

Ingredients

• ✓ salt
• paper fortune
• white sugar
• egg white
• milk
• butter
• vanilla extract
• almond extract
• all-purpose flour

Instructions

1. 1 Print and cut out 3-inch wide paper fortunes.
2. 2 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
3. 3 Whisk sugar, egg white, milk, butter, vanilla extract, almond extract, and salt together in a bowl until sugar is dissolved. Add flour; whisk until batter is smooth and falls off the whisk in ribbons.
4. 4 Scoop 1 tablespoon batter onto the prepared baking sheet; spread into a 4-inch circle using the back of a spoon. Repeat once more.
5. 5 Bake in the preheated oven until crispy and golden brown on the edges and still pale in the centers, about 10 minutes.
6. 6 Working quickly, lift 1 cookie using a spatula; add a fortune. Fold cookie in half, pressing edges together lightly. Bend long side cookie in half over rim of the baking sheet, pulling ends down on either side. Curl ends towards each other to form a brim. Place cookie in a ramekin or muffin tin to hold its shape while cooling. Working quickly, repeat with second cookie.
7. 7 Repeat scooping and baking with remaining batter, working in batches of 2 cookies per batch, folding and shaping cookies while hot. Remove from ramekins or muffin tins when completely cool.

Instructions

1. 1 Pour warm water into a small bowl, then sprinkle yeast over the surface. Let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.

Ingredients

• ✓ salt
• golden syrup
• peanut oil
• cake flour
• baking soda
• adzuki bean
• water
• peanut oil
• white sugar
• wheat starch
• all-purpose flour
• egg yolk

Instructions

1. 1 Stir the golden syrup together with 3 tablespoons of peanut oil in a small saucepan over low heat until the mixture becomes very warm, and the syrup is easy to stir, about 3 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk together the cake flour, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl. Stir in the golden syrup until a smooth dough forms. Wrap well with plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 4 hours.
2. 2 Meanwhile, combine the adzuki beans and water in a large saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the beans are tender, about 1 hour. Drain and allow to cool for 10 minutes. Puree the beans in a blender or food processor.
3. 3 Heat 1/4 cup of peanut oil over medium heat in the saucepan the beans were boiled in. Stir in the pureed beans along with the white sugar. Cook and stir until the bean paste clings to the stirring spoon, 10 to 20 minutes. Stir in the wheat starch. Scrape into a mixing bowl. Chill in the refrigerator until cold.
4. 4 Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
5. 5 Divide the dough and the filling each into 8 equal portions and roll into balls. Press the dough balls between your palms to form circles large enough to envelop a filling ball. Place a ball of the filling onto the center of each pastry circle, wrap the pastry around the filling, and pinch the edges together. Roll the mooncakes in the all-purpose flour to coat; shake off excess. Place the mooncakes seam-side-down onto the prepared baking sheet and press to flatten slightly.
6. 6 Mist lightly with water. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Remove the mooncakes from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
7. 7 Brush with the beaten egg yolk, applying more of the yolk to to tops than to the sides. Return to the oven and bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes more. Cool completely before serving.
