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.

Instructions

  1. 1 In a medium bowl, mix together the confectioners' sugar and flour. Mix in butter with a fork until it is in small crumbs. Stir in the egg and vanilla until the mixture forms a dough. The texture should be slightly moist. Add more butter if it is too dry, or more flour, if the dough seems greasy. Shape dough into 1 1/2 inch balls, and press the balls into tart molds so that it covers the bottom, and goes up higher than the sides. Use 2 fingers to shape the edge into an A shape.
  2. 2 Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Combine the white sugar and water in a medium saucepan, and bring to a boil. Cook until the sugar is dissolved, remove from heat and cool to room temperature. Strain the eggs through a sieve, and whisk into the sugar mixture. Stir in the evaporated milk and vanilla. Strain the filling through a sieve, and fill the tart shells.
  3. 3 Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown, and the filling is puffed up a little bit.

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.

  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.
