What’s In Wonton Wrappers?

You’ll need just four ingredients to make this homemade wonton wrapper recipe: 

• Egg: An egg keeps the wontons soft and helps bind the dough together. 
• Water: You’ll need ⅓ cup water. If the mixture is too dry, add more by the tablespoon. 
• Flour: All-purpose flour gives the wonton wrappers structure.  
• Salt: A pinch of salt enhances the overall flavor of the wonton wrappers.

“A fantastic recipe,” says DJ Brewmaster. “I can't get wonton wrappers where I live, so this recipe is my go to. I use it with Chef John's potsticker recipe and they turn out perfect every time.”
