Step 1

Place flour into a large bowl.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together egg, salt, and water.

Step 3

Create a well in the center of the flour and pour in the wet ingredients.

Step 4

Mix everything together with a spoon (or your hands), until the mixture begins to come together.

Step 5

Turn the dough onto the counter and knead for 3-5 minutes. The dough should be firm but silky smooth when you are done. (If your dough is too tacky, add a little extra flour to your counter.)

Step 6

Cover the dough with a damp towel and let rest for 1 hour. (Letting the dough rest will make it easier to roll thin wrappers.)

Step 7

Divide the dough in half. Cover one half of the dough with your towel. Lightly dust your counter-top with cornstarch (NOT flour), and roll half of the dough as thin as you can, aiming for a rectangle roughly 20”x10” if you are cutting 5" wrappers, or 15"x9" if you are cutting 3" wrappers.

Step 8

Cut the sheet into your desired shapes. (5 inch squares are perfect for egg rolls. 3 inch squares or circles are great for wontons or dumplings.)

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining dough.

Step 10

Use the wonton wrappers immediately or freeze them below (see below).
