VEGAN WONTON WRAPPERS

Steps:

• Sift together flour and salt in a bowl.
• Slowly stir in warm water - dough will be very stiff. Knead dough on floured surface till smooth, about 15 minutes. Cover with towel and let stand for 20 minutes.
• This part takes some elbow grease, be warned. Roll about a half of the dough out, as thin as you can. I'm not that strong so mine stay a little on the thick side. It should make thirty-two 3-inch squares but I'm lucky to get sixteen. Repeat for other half of dough.
• To store (if there are any leftovers, anyway) just sprinkle with cornstarch and keep in an airtight bag in the fridge or freezer.
• To make "eggless" or spring rolls just cut bigger squares, 6-8 inches or so.
• Serves: 8 servings of 4. (total of 32).

APPLE JACKS...USES WONTON WRAPPERS & PIE FILLING!

Steps:

• 1. Cut pie filling apples into smaller pieces. Place 1 Tablespoon of filling in to the center of each wrapper. Moisten edges of wrappers with water. Fold diagonally. Press edges with a fork to seal. Heat oil to 35o degrees..fry until golden on both sides. Drain on paper towels. Sift conf. sugar on tops when cool. Makes 18-20
• 2. Be sure they are sealed tight, so the filling does not leak out when cooking. I like to add cinnamon to the apples, before filling. TIP: For cleanup, I find it is easier to put down folded newspapers under the paper towels. .
