Wonton Wrappers

Stuffed wonton wrappers feature prominently in soups and dim sum dishes. They can even replace egg roll wrappers in the recipe for Bowties (for kids and for adults).

YIELDS 24–28 wrappers

INGREDIENTS

  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2¼ cups flour
  • ⅔ cup water
  • 1 medium egg
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
