Wonton wrappers

IMG

Ingredients (for about 30–35 wrappers)

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (250 g)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup water (120 ml, adjust as needed)
  • Cornstarch (for dusting, to prevent sticking)

Instructions

  1. Mix Dough:
    In a bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center, add egg and water. Mix until a dough forms.
  2. Knead:
    Transfer to a floured surface. Knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. If too sticky, add a little flour; if too dry, add a teaspoon of water.
  3. Rest:
    Cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap. Let rest for 30–40 minutes (this relaxes the gluten and makes rolling easier).
  4. Roll & Cut:
    Divide dough in half. Roll out one half very thin (almost paper-thin). Cut into 3×3 in (7–8 cm) squares. Dust lightly with cornstarch to keep from sticking. Repeat with the other half.
  5. Store or Use:
    • Use immediately to make wontons, dumplings, or egg rolls.
    • To store: stack with cornstarch between each, wrap tightly, and refrigerate up to 2 days or freeze up to 2 months.
