directions

  • Combine ingredients to make a dough.
  • Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Knead until smooth and elastic.
  • Divide into 16 pieces.
  • Roll into 6 inch squares.
  • (Dough should be very thin).
  • Stack rolled squares separately with wax paper between each one.

  • Fill by making a line of your favorite filling about 1/2 from top and side edges.
  • Fold in each side over filling.
  • Brush on a small amount of saved egg along remaining side edges and the bottom edge.
  • Roll from the top to the bottom and press lightly so it will seal.
  • Fry at 350 degrees until golden brown.

Questions & Replies

  1. Hi! How do I fry these exactly? Which oil am I using and what is the process exactly? Am I putting them in the oven or a fryer? I don't have a fryer so I just fry everything on my stovetop. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!

  1. Love, love, love these wrappers. So easy to make and use. I used 1/2 home ground wheat flour and 1/2 regular flour for increased nutrition.
     
  2. Let me first humbly say that egg rolls are my signature dish--the one thing family members always request that I make when there is a big gathering. However, I've always used store-bought egg roll wraps. Tonight I found myself scrambling for something for dinner. I live in a rural area and didn't want to drive to the store, and since I had most of the other stuff I usually put in my egg rolls, I decided to make egg rolls in these shells. I thought the recipe was easy to work with, like others have said, but honestly, I would never work this hard again unless I was desperate. They took a long time to roll out. As others have said, my blobby shapes worked out fine so don't be worried about perfect squares. Also found that although they cooked up nicely enough, they didn't get crunchy like the store-boughts. They turned out okay, but definitely weren't my signature egg rolls. But thanks for posting--I always wanted to try making my own wraps.
     
  3. These were delicious! I was surprised at how easy the dough was to work with. I did have trouble making actual squares, but the strange blob shapes I made worked fine. ZWT6 N.
     
  4. Made these to go with <a href="/72124">Is It Egg Roll or Eggroll?</a>. Dough was slightly sticky and used cornflour to keep from sticking while rolling it out. Thanks!
     
  5. This recipe is awesome. I used cup4cup gf flour (no other changes) and was pleasantly surprised with how easily the dough rolled out by hand.
