Wonton Envelopes Recipes

Steps:

• Brush the edges of square wonton wrappers with beaten egg whites; fold in the points to form an envelope (enclose jam, if you want). Deep-fry in vegetable oil until golden, about 2 minutes, then dust with confectioners' sugar.

Steps:

• Place one cheese cube in the center of each wonton wrapper. Moisten edges of wrapper with water and fold corners of wrapper to center, enclosing filling and overlapping edges slightly.
• Place on sheets of wax paper and spray with cooking spray. Cover with additional wax paper to prevent drying out.
• Pour oil to 3 inch in large Dutch oven and heat to 350°F.
• Fry wontons until golden brown on each side, turning once. Drain on paper towels.
• Serve immediately with dip if desired.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, beat the egg. Mix in the water.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Create a well in the center of the mixture and slowly pour in the egg and water. Mix well. If the mixture is too dry, increase the amount of water one teaspoon at a time until a pliable dough has formed.
• On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough until elastic. Cut dough into two separate balls. Cover the balls with a damp cloth for a minimum of 10 minutes.
• Cut each ball into four equal pieces. Roll the pieces into 10 1/2 by 10 1/2 inch squares. Cut each into nine 3 1/2 by 3 1/2 inch squares. Use in any recipe that calls for wonton wrappers.
