Dough pouring is a variation of the lead pouring game, that is often played on New Year's Eve. The resulting objects are said to tell the fortune of the following year. In contrast to lead pouring, it is less dangerous and the objects can be eaten after the game!

Equipment

  • dough, e.g. for pancakes (eggs, flour, milk, salt)
  • cooktop
  • pan
  • ladle (or bigger spoon)
  • oil

Procedure

The players pour dough into the pan and bake the object. The object can be interpreted (what does it look like?). Some people believe it can tell your fortune of the approaching year.
