Now you can write yourself some really lovely fortunes – such as All your dreams will come true; This will be your best year ever – and cheer yourself up when you need a little boost. Alternatively, if you’re an idiot like me, you can ask your children to write some random ones, and will end up with a fortune that says Beware men with beards or even You will be kidnapped by an evil pig. Here’s the recipe I used – it makes fifteen fortune-cookies. (My children found the cookies quite eggy-tasting, so you may want to dust them with icing sugar or even dip them in melted chocolate, for a nicer flavour.) Ingredients 100g (4 oz) plain flour 1½ tbsp cornflour 50g (2 oz) caster sugar ½ tsp salt 3 tbsp vegetable oil 3 egg whites 1 tsp water 1½ tsp vanilla extract 1½ tsp almond extract (optional) Method 1 Preheat the oven to 170°C/325°F/Gas Mark 3. Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper, or use a silicone mat if you have such a thing. (We ended up using three trays in all.) 2 Sift the flour and cornflour together in a bowl, then combine with the sugar and salt.
