Yields 24–28 wrappers
Stuffed wonton wrappers feature prominently in soups and dim sum dishes. They can even replace egg roll wrappers in the recipe for Bowties (page 272-273).
Wonton Wrappers
½ teaspoon salt
2¼ cups flour
cup water
1 medium egg
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- Sift the salt into the flour. Add the remaining ingredients, adding the water slowly and not using more than necessary. Form the batter into a dough and knead until smooth. Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Cut the dough in half. Form each half into a cylinder. Lightly score the dough into ½ -inch pieces and cut (you should have 12–14 pieces). Repeat with the other half of the dough.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece out into a 3½ -inch square. Store wrapped in plastic in the refrigerator or freeze until ready to use.
