Description
Craving egg rolls (or wontons) but don’t have any wrappers? No worries, with four simple ingredients and a little time and effort, you can make them at home!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup very cold water
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk the egg, then add the rest of the ingredients and stir until it starts to come together into a dough. Cover and let the dough rest for 10 minutes (or longer).
- Put the dough on a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes or until the dough is very smooth and elastic, adding flour as needed to keep it from sticking.
- Cut the dough into 8 pieces and shape each piece into a rectangle. Covering the rest of the pieces while you work, roll out each piece of dough into a rectangle that is about 5 – 6 inches wide and 10 – 12 inches long. The dough should be very, very thin. Use a dough cutter to cut the piece in half so you have two roughly square pieces.
- Set one wrapper on a small piece of wax or parchment paper, then stack the wrappers as you finish them, using a small piece of wax or parchment paper between each one. Keep the stack covered as you work.
- Fill with your choice of filling then fry at 350 F or brush with oil and bake at 400 F for about 15 minutes or until golden brown … or put the stack into a plastic bag, seal and refrigerate until ready to use.
