1 egg
1/3 c. sugar
1/3 c. all-purpose flour
3 tbsp. salad oil
2 tbsp. water
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. cinnamon

You will need white paper, scissors, pencil, fork, tablespoon, pancake turner, small plate, griddle or electric skillet, pastry brush, 1 or 2 muffin pans and a small bowl.

Cut paper into strips about 3 inches long and 1/2 inch wide. Write a different fortune on each strip. (For example, "You will have a happy day.) Heat griddle over medium heat (350 degrees on electric skillet). Generously grease the hot griddle with shortening, using pastry brush.

Beat egg in bowl with fork until foamy. Beat in sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in flour, oil, water, vanilla and cinnamon. Mix until smooth. Drop the batter by tablespoonful onto the greased hot griddle. Spread into circles about 3 1/2 inches across, using the back of the spoon. (Cookies must be very thin.)

Cook until light brown, about 3 minutes (lift and edge and peek.) Turn with pancake turner and cook about 3 minutes on the other side.
