Make your own Wonton wraps

As convenient as it is to buy your wrappers, its not quite a pleasureable as makeing your own , so when you have finished your dish and served it you can say to your dinner guests, with hand on heart, I made those !!!!

Ingredients Makes about 25 wraps

1 egg
3/4 teaspoon salt
500g plain flour
80ml to 120ml water (or as needed)
extra flour as needed

Method

1.Lightly beat the egg with the salt then add 60ml water and beat in.
2.Meanhile sift the flour into a large bowl, form a well in the middle and add the egg and water mixture.
3.Combine this together then add just as much of the remaining water as necessary to form a dough.
4.Shape the dough into a ball, tip onto a lightly-floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, or until it forms a smooth, workable dough.
5.Return to the bowl, cover and allow to rest for 30 minutes.
6.Tip the the dough back onto the floured surface. Roll out until very thin, and cut into 8cm squares.
7.Sprinkle each square with cornflour (cornstarch) and store in a plastic bag in the refrigerator or freezer until ready to use.

How simple is that the key is to get the paste as thin as you can. The thinner the better !!
