Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, cornstarch, and sugar. Stir in oil and egg whites; continue stirring until smooth. Gradually blend in 3 T water.

2. Drop four level 1-Tbsp portions of batter on baking sheet, spacing them at least 5 inches apart. Use a the back of a small offset spatula or a butter knife to spread each evenly into a 4 inch circle. Bake until dark golden brown, about 25 minutes. (Homemade fortune cookies need to be a bit dark in order to bend properly, and will be a little speckled in appearance rather than uniformly gold.) Meanwhile, set a muffin pan (with cups 2 3/4 inch wide) next to the oven.

3. Using a wide spatula and wearing cotton gloves, remove a cookie from the oven and flip it onto one gloved hand. Place a fortune in center of cookie while bringing edges together to enclose (don't fold it too firmly in half). Grasp ends of cookie and bend corners down to form a crescent. If cookie hardens too fast or starts to crack, return it to oven for 1 minute before continuing the fold. Once it's shaped, fit it, ends down, into a muffin cup to fi the shape as it cools. Shape other cookies the same way. Let cool completely. Repeat to bake and shape remaining cookies. Make Ahead: Up to 1 week, stored airtight at room temperature.
