Ingredients:
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- ¾ teaspoon (4g) salt
- ¾ cup (180 ml) warm water (100-110°F / 38-43°C)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) vegetable oil, plus more for brushing
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the warm water, egg, and oil.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients until a shaggy dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
- Form the dough into a ball, lightly brush with oil, and cover with plastic wrap. Let it rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
- After resting, divide the dough into 2 equal pieces. Roll one piece into a log about 1 inch thick. Cut the log into 10-12 equal pieces. Repeat with the second piece of dough.
- On a lightly floured surface, flatten one small piece of dough into a circle. Using a rolling pin, roll it out into a thin circle, about 5-6 inches in diameter. Keep the wrappers very thin!
- Stack the rolled wrappers, brushing each lightly with oil and sprinkling with flour to prevent sticking.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan (no oil) over medium heat. One by one, cook the wraps for about 30 seconds to 1 minutes per side. Look for very lightly toasted spots.
- As you roll and cook, keep the finished wrappers covered with a damp kitchen towel to prevent them from drying out.
- Use the wrappers immediately to make egg rolls, or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. If stacking for storing, ensure they're well separated with parchment paper.
