How to Make Your Own Wonton Wrappers

Ingredients:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour

- 1 teaspoon salt

- 1 cup boiling water

- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions:

Step 1: Mix the Dough

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Stir to combine.

2. Slowly add the boiling water and stir until a dough starts to form.

3. Add the vegetable oil and mix until the dough comes together and forms a ball.

Step 2: Knead the Dough

1. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and begin to knead. Knead for about 5-7 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.

2. If the dough is too dry, add a little more boiling water. If the dough is too wet, add a little more flour.

Step 3: Rest the Dough

1. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This allows the gluten in the dough to relax, making it easier to roll out.

Step 4: Roll Out the Dough

1. Divide the dough into 4 equal balls.

2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each ball of dough into a thin, rectangular sheet. The dough should be about 1/16-inch thick.

Step 5: Cut the Wrappers

1. Use a sharp knife or a pastry cutter to cut the rolled-out dough into squares. The traditional wonton wrapper size is about 3-inches square.

2. Repeat the process with the remaining balls of dough until all the dough has been used up.

Step 6: Store the Wrappers

1. Place the wonton wrappers in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

2. Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

3. Alternatively, you can freeze the wonton wrappers for longer storage. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for a few hours, or until the wrappers are frozen solid.

4. Transfer the frozen wonton wrappers to a freezer-safe bag or container and store in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Your homemade wonton wrappers are now ready to be used in your favorite recipes. Enjoy!
