What an original and cleaver way to keep your dearest summer herbs during the cold winter months while creating a one of a kind topping and seasoning.  I love making salted herbs because you can go pretty much in any direction you want without worrying about bad bacterias…. thank you excessive amount of salt! lol!

This recipe isn’t an official recipe, every year the mix is different and with each different mixture, different recipes are being created.  This year, I wanted something basic that could go well with almost everything and here’s the result.

Basic Wonton Wrappers Dough Recipe

March 5, 2013 by Ariel 12 Comments

Ahhhh wonton wrappers… I am sincerely in deep deep love with my homemade wrappers.  I always have some in my freezer.

….Ok let me explain this first sentence without looking like a retard…lol

It’s just that, this dough is amazing!!  You can bake it, fry it, steam it, boil it and every ways it makes something delicious!  From pasta to chips, passing by spring rolls and pie cups, you can create so many goodies so this is why I’m in love with my homemade wonton wrappers.  Oh and let’s not forget that they are super healthy too!  Only a few calories by wrappers makes them a wise choice in a lot of recipes (no worries, I’ll be posting a few now that this recipe is live).

Nobody never really show me how to make wonton wrappers but after reading and searching online, it’s pretty much like I had special teachers showing me the recipe and technique that was going to change my kitchen forever.  If you’re not already making your own, just give it a try and see how amazing they are.  Don’t hesitate to make the taste test with the store bought version and you’ll see.  On my side, it was a revelation 🙂  Everything is always better when it’s homemade 🙂
