Plus, it's a versatile base you can use immediately or store for later. Whether you're preparing traditional Southeast Asian-style popiah or modern fresh spring rolls, these homemade wrappers are guaranteed to elevate any dish. Ready in just 40 minutes, this recipe is a must-try for anyone looking to transform their culinary skills with homemade goodness.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt until well combined.
Gradually add the water to the bowl, stirring continuously to form a smooth, lump-free batter.
Add the vegetable oil to the batter and mix thoroughly. The batter should be runny and similar to the consistency of crepe batter.
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat. Once hot, lower the heat slightly.
Using your hand (or a pastry brush for less traditional methods), pick up a small amount (about 2-3 tablespoons) of the batter. Quickly and lightly 'swipe' the batter onto the surface of the pan with circular motions to create a thin, even layer.
Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges of the wrapper begin to curl slightly and it can be easily lifted off the pan.
Carefully peel the wrapper off the pan and transfer to a plate. Do not stack the wrappers while they are hot as they may stick together.
Repeat the process until all the batter is used, ensuring you stir the batter occasionally to maintain its consistency.
Use the fresh popiah wrappers immediately for spring rolls or store them in an airtight container with parchment paper between each layer to prevent sticking.
