Ingredients
  

  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups flour
  • Cornstarch for rolling
  • Cooking oil of choice

Instructions
 

  • Add egg, water, and salt to a bowl. Whisk until well combined and set aside.
  • Add flour to a bowl and create a well in the center. Add the liquid ingredients to the center. Slowly incorporate the wet ingredients into the flour.
  • Lightly dust your work area with cornstarch to help prevent sticking. Turn the dough out. Knead for 5-10 minutes or until the dough has come together and is smooth.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rest for 15-30 minutes.
  • Once the dough has rested, heat a pot of oil to 350F.
  • Roll the dough out into a thin layer and cut out a large rectangle. From that rectangle, cut 3-4 inch squares. Stack the squares onto one another using cornstarch to prevent sticking. You can stop here and use this classic shape for any wonton wrapper, otherwise cut into ½ inch strips.
  • Dust off excess cornstarch and place in oil. Fry until golden brown or about 1-2 minutes.
  • Remove from oil and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Cool and ENJOY!
