Cream cheese wontons

 Cream cheese wontons.

 

Ingredients:
2 cups of flour

1 whole large egg

1/3 cup water

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 8oz block of cream cheese

Pickled jalapenos (optional)

Directions:
Wonton wrappers:
In stand up mixer combine flour and salt. In a separate bowl whisk together egg and water.

Place dough hook on mixer and place on low, slowly add the egg and water mixture to the flour. 

Mix on low for 5 minutes. If the flour does not come together to a ball add water, 1 teaspoon at a time until dough combines.
 

Let dough rest covered for 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes remove dough and place on a smooth lightly floured surface Begin pressing the dough out into a smooth flat circle. Grab your rolling pin and begin rolling flat you want to give it 1/16th to a 1/4 inch thickness depending on how you like your wontons.

After you have rolled out your wontons use a small 31/2 inch by 3 1/2 inch square's. (That's okay if you have scraps use them to make those delicious wonton crisps that come with the Chinese soups.)

If you are using jalapenos in your recipe remove them from the jar and pat dry so it does not make the dough raw. Place a couple of jalapeño in middle of the wonton dough square, take a 1/2 tsp of your cream cheese that has come to room temperature and place it on top of the jalapeno. Then grabbing the corners hold them together the top and pinch them so the cream cheese does not float to the top when you fry. You can use either a deep fryer or a hot pot of oil to deep fry in. We use an electric deep fryer. Set the temperature to 375 degrees and Fry for about 5 to 7 minutes until golden brown depending on thickness of the dough.

After frying remove oil and let dry on some paper towels.
