- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup warm water
- a pinch of salt
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt. Make a well in the center, and add 1 egg and about 1/2 cup of warm water. Stir with a fork until the mixture starts to come together.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead it for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle in a little more flour as needed.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap or cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
- After resting, divide the dough into four equal portions. Keep the portions you’re not currently using covered. Roll out one portion on a floured surface until it’s very thin (about 1/16 inch thick).
- Use a sharp knife or a pizza cutter to cut the rolled dough into squares (typically 3×3 inches works well). You can also use a round cookie cutter for circular wrappers.
- As you cut the wrappers, dust them lightly with flour to prevent sticking. Stack them with parchment paper in between if you’re making a large batch.
- Your wonton wrappers are now ready to be filled with your favorite fillings! Whether you prefer a beef mixture or a vegetarian option, these wrappers are perfect for boiling, frying, or steaming.
