Wonton Wrappers
(Hun - T'un - Pi)
|
|
|
| What You Need: |
|
|
|
4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup cold water
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. Sift the flour and salt into a bowl, make a well in the center and pour into it the eggs and cold water. With your fingers or a spoon, mix the flour and liquid ingredients together until they can be gathered into a soft ball.
|
2. Knead the dough in the bowl for 4 to 5 minutes, or until it is smooth but still soft. Do not overknead or the dough will become stiff.
|
3. Divide the dough into 4 equal-sized balls. On a lightly floured surface, roll one ball at a time into a 14-inch square about 1/16-inch thick.
|
4. For soup wonton or deep-fried wanton, cut the dough into 3˝ -inch squares with a sharp knife or pastry wheel. For steamed pork dumplings, use a 3-inch cookie cutter or the rim of a glass to cut the dough into rounds.
|
5. If the wrappers must rest for any length of time, cover them with a lightly dampened towel. If you wish to freeze them, wrap them securely in foil or plastic wrap.
