Futuristic Foods: Fortune Teller Party RecipesAs a good host and/or hostess, you should plan to serve Halloween food that relates to this theme. Many of your everyday recipes can easily be turned into fortune teller party recipes just by cutting items into various shapes, or by giving them interesting names using name tags set in front of the dish.
With today's Halloween parties, finger foods are usually what are supplied. Chips, cheesies, nachoes, sandwiches, and other such items that can be easily picked up as one is walking by, are often the eaiest to prepare. However, with a fortune telling party such as this, you may want to try and make your choices a little more "mystical" and entertaining. While looking through a Halloween book written in the early part of the twenieth century, I came across a menu that suited this theme pretty well. Aside from the soup (which you may or may not wish to make), the rest of the menu is pretty straight forward and can be used at a buffet style table setting. The menu is pretty basic, so I would suggest you add more items to the list, but it's a good start on ideas. Fortune Teller Party Menu

2 tablespoons cornstarch 4 ounces sugar 1/2 teaspoons salt 2 egg whites 4 ounces vegetable oil 1 teaspoon water 2 teaspoons vanilla extract  1. Sift flour, cornstarch, sugar and salt together in a large bowl. 2. Mix egg whites, oil, water and vanilla in a small bowl and stir into flour mixture until blended. 3. Roll very thin 4 inch circles of dough and place on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 300F for 15 minutes. 4. Working quickly, remove one cookie at a time from the baking sheet with a wide spatula flipping the cookie onto a gloved hand. 5. Place a thin paper fortune on cookie and fold the cookie in half. Grasp the ends of the cookie and crease it into a crescent shape. You may wish to use the edge of a pan or pot to do this. 6. Place on wire rack to cool. Store in an air tight container. Note: If the cookie cools too fast while you're trying to shape it, put it back into the oven for 30 seconds to 1 minute to soften. It's best to bake and work with only a few cookies at a time. |
