Crafting these wrappers from scratch not only allows for creative customization but also brings a sense of pride in the kitchen, connecting us to the rich culinary traditions of the East.

- Egg 1
- All-purpose flour 2 cups
- Salt 1/2 tsp
- Water 1/4 cup or as required
Instructions
- Beat the egg in a medium bowl, mix in the water.

- 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.
- Keep one half covered while you roll out the other one on a surface lightly coated with all-purpose flour. Roll out as thin as you possibly can.
- Cut into 3.5-inch squares. You can make about 24 wraps.
- Use wonton wrappers immediately or freeze for later use.
