TJ says,
This dough is super easy to work with!We have found the thinner we roll the dough the better we like it for steamed or pan-fried dumplings. For crab rangoon, etc. we’re okay with the dough being a bit thicker. These are pork and chive. We also do veggie, shrimp, etc.The key is to make sure the veggies (cabbage, zucchini, etc.) are salted and *all* excess liquid is squeezed out. Same goes for tofu. Cheesecloth is your friend.
Gluten Free Wonton Wrapper Recipe
Gluten Free Wonton Wrapper Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup 135 grams gfJules Gluten Free All Purpose Flour
- ¼ tsp. sea salt
- 1 egg + 1 egg white
- 2 Tbs. water
Instructions
- Whisk together flour and salt in a small bowl; in a separate bowl combine the eggs and water. Slowly stir the egg mixture into the flour with a fork and mix until a sticky dough forms.
- Divide the dough in half and cover one half while working with the other.
- Prepare a clean counter or pastry mat by generously flouring with more gluten free flour. Flour a rolling pin as well, then turn one half of the dough out onto the floured mat and roll gently in each direction until the dough is evenly thinned, almost so thin you can see through it.
- Measure 4 ½ - 5 inch squares and cut with a pastry cutter or butter knife. Layer each square on top of each other on a plate and cover with a damp tea towel while preparing the remaining dough. Re-roll the dough scraps to create more wrappers, so that all the dough is used to make approximately 10 wonton wrappers.
- Use wrappers in your recipe before they dry out, or cover and refrigerate for 3-5 days until ready to use in your recipe. They will get somewhat more fragile with refrigeration, so bring to room temperature before rolling and spritz with more water if necessary.
- Makes 10 wonton wrappers; recipe is easily doubled.

when making won tons for soup, do i cook first in water or let them cook in soup?
for won ton wrappers , will aqua faba work for egg replacement ? or would you suggest something else ? thanks for your time . si
Hi Susan, I haven’t tried aquafaba yet, but it’s worth a try! The other option would be flax egg. Those would probably work better than commercial egg replacers, but you could give one of those a go, as well. Check out those options here.
