Although convenient to buy them ready made, it's actually very easy to make your own wonton wrappers. The recipe below will yield about 25 wrappers.

Ingredients:

1 egg
3/4 teaspoon salt
500g plain flour
80ml to 120ml water (or as needed)
extra flour as needed

Method:

Lightly beat the egg with the salt then add 60ml water and beat in.

Meanwhile sift the flour into a large bowl, form a well in the middle and add the egg and water mixture. Combine this with the then add just as much of the remaining water as necessary to form a dough.

Shape the dough into a ball, tip onto a lightly-floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, or until it forms a smooth, workable dough. Return to the bowl, cover and allow to rest for 30 minutes. Tip the dough back onto the floured surface. Roll out until very thin, and cut into 8cm squares. Sprinkle each square with cornflour (cornstarch) and store in a plastic bag in the refrigerator or freezer until ready to use.
