Steps to make the fortune cookie
Preparing materials
The ingredients to make the fortune cookie mainly include flour, sugar, eggs, oil and water. Among them, the ratio of flour and sugar is 10:1, the ratio of egg and oil is 1:1, and the amount of water needs to be determined according to the absorbency of the flour.
Making the Dough
Mix the flour and sugar well, add the beaten egg and oil, and mix until it becomes a batter. Then, gradually add the right amount of water and knead to form a smooth dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Making the Signature Pie Crust
Divide the dough into smaller pieces, roll it out into a thin sheet, and cut out rounds with a mold. Place the round crust on a baking sheet and use a fork to poke a few holes in the surface so that the crust doesn't puff up during baking.
Making the Icing
Combine the sugar and water and bring to a boil, cooking until the sugar is dissolved. Then, reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook for about 10 minutes until the syrup becomes thick. Let the syrup cool.
Bake the Signature Pie
Preheat the oven to 170°C. Place the pie crust in the oven and bake for about 5 minutes, until the crust becomes golden brown. Remove the crust, coat it with a layer of syrup and bake in the oven for another 2-3 minutes until the syrup becomes transparent. Remove the crust and hang it over the Signature Pie Molds and allow it to cool.
