Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cups Water
- 0.25 cups Cornstarch (for dusting)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the egg.
Slowly pour in the water, mixing with a fork or your hands until the dough starts to come together.
Knead the dough on a clean surface for about 10 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, add a sprinkle of flour; if it is too dry, add a small amount of water.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 20 minutes. This will make it easier to roll out.
Divide the rested dough into four equal pieces. Keep the pieces you’re not using covered to prevent them from drying out.
Roll out one piece of dough into a large, thin sheet (as thin as you can get it without tearing). Dust the surface lightly with cornstarch to prevent sticking.
Using a sharp knife or a round cutter, cut the dough into 3 to 4-inch squares or circles, depending on your preference.
Repeat the process with the remaining portions of dough, stacking the finished wrappers with a light dusting of cornstarch in between to keep them from sticking.
Use the wonton wrappers immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Alternatively, you can freeze them for longer storage.
