This recipe is a lot of fun for children to do. Write fortunes on strips of  festive colored paper about 4 inches long and 1/2 inch wide. You will need a thick bowl and a muffin pan or empty egg carton.

In a mixing bowl, stir together flour, sugar, cornstarch and salt. Add cooking oil and egg white; stir until smooth. Add water, mixing well.

Make 1 cookie at a time by pouring 1 tablespoon of batter on a lightly greased skillet or griddle. Spread into a 3.5" circle. Cook over low heat about 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Turn cookie with a wide spatula; cook one more minute.

Working quickly, place cookie on pot holder. Place fortune in center of cookie. Fold cookie in half, then fold again over edge of  a bowl. Place in muffin pan or empty egg carton to cool. Repeat with remaining batter.

Yield: 8 cookies
