Spring Roll Wrappers Recipes

SPRING ROLL SHEETS

Steps:

• In a bowl, take 1 cup all purpose flour/maida, 3 tbsp corn starch and 1/4 tsp salt.
• With a wired whisk or a spoon mix the dry ingredients.
• Add 1.25 cups water.
• Whisk well to a get smooth and slightly thin consistency of the batter without any lumps.
• The batter should be of a flowing consistency. Depending on the quality of flour, you can add less or more water.
• Now on a low flame, heat a non stick pan. The pan should just become slightly hot and not too hot. You can also use a cast iron or steel pan. But make sure they are seasoned. With a paper tissue or a small piece of kitchen towel dipped in oil, grease the pan. For the nonstick pan you can skip oil. But if you feel the wrappers are sticking then grease or brush the pan with oil.
• Now lift the pan above the stove top burner. Add 2 tbsp of the batter in the pan.
• Gently, spread the spoon clockwise to make a small thin pancake. Similar to the way we make dosa. Add 1 to 2 tbsp more water if the batter becomes thick while preparing the wrappers.
• Do remember that the pancakes have to be thin. If they become thick, then they break while rolling and sealing.
• Now on a low flame cook the pancake (spring roll wrappers) till the sides start curling up and the pancake becomes kind of translucent.
• The pancake just need to be cooked. No need to flip and cook the other side. Just cook one side.
• Lift the spring roll wrapper with a spatula.
• Place the spring roll wrapper in a tray or plate with the cooked side facing you. Allow the spring roll sheets to cool and then stack them with the cooked side on top. Keep them covered in a small casserole or bowl.
• Once the spring roll wrappers come at room temperature, you can start making the spring rolls. Or else keep them covered in a container in the fridge.
• When keeping in the fridge, place parchment paper or butter paper between two sheets, so that they can be separated easily. You can these spring roll sheets either in the fridge or in the freezer. In the fridge, these wrappers stay good for a week and in the freezer up to a month. After removing from the freezer, thaw them completely at room temperature before using.

HOMEMADE SPRING ROLL WRAPPERS

Steps:

• Sift the flour into a mixing bowl and add salt. Mix. Add water little by little. Use more water necessary. Mix thoroughly to make a thin batter. Cover and let rest about 30 minutes.
• Next spray a non-stick pan with cooking spray or butter and heat on medium low heat. After one or two minutes turn the heat down to low and drop 1 1/2 tablespoons of the batter onto the middle of the pan. Quickly spread the batter with a spoon into a thin wrapper about 6 inches in diameter.
• Cook until the wrapper is dry and starts to shrink from the the sides of the pan. Remove the completed wrapper to a plate. Repeat this procedure until all the batter is used. Then use these to prepare your favorite spring roll recipe. Enjoy.

• Sift bread flour into a medium bowl and make a well in the center. Place egg and cold water in well. Beat with a wooden spoon until a smooth dough has formed. Use more water as necessary. Knead until elastic and pliable. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator 4 hours, or overnight.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into an approximately 14x14 inch square. Cut into 12 equal squares. Roll each square into a very thin 6x6 inch square. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.

QUICK HOMEMADE SPRING ROLL WRAPPERS

Steps:

• Stir together flour, cornstarch, oil, and enough water to make a thin batter.
• Lightly oil a small (6") frying pan and heat.
• Spoon 2 Tbsp of the batter into the center of the pan.
• Swirl the batter around to coat the bottom of the pan.
• Cook until the wrapper is dry and starts to shrink from the edge of the side of the pan. Do not let it change colors.
• Transfer the wrapper to a plate and cover it with a damp cloth until you have made all that you need.
• To fill: place your favorite filling slightly off center of the wrapper. Fold the sides over, then roll the wrapper up to enclose the filling. Brush around the edges with a beaten egg to seal it. Deep fry the spring roll about 4 minutes and enjoy!

CHEESEBURGER EGG ROLLS

Steps:

• Place the ground beef and onion in a skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir for about 10 minutes, breaking up the beef into crumbles as it cooks. Drain the meat and transfer to a bowl. Stir in the chopped pickles, shredded cheese, and mustard, and mix together well.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place a bowl of water next to your work surface. Remove an egg roll wrapper from the stack, and cover the remaining wrappers with a damp paper towel to prevent them from drying out.
• Place the wrapper on the work surface with a corner facing towards you. Place about 1/4 cup of filling on the wrapper, and fold the top corner down over the filling. Tightly roll the wrapper into a cylinder, tucking in the corners as you roll, until the wrapper completely encloses the filling. Moisten the last corner with a little water, and finish wrapping so the moistened corner tightly seals to the egg roll, and there are no gaps to let the filling leak out. Place filled egg rolls on the parchment-lined baking sheet, covered with a slightly damp paper towel, while you finish making the egg rolls.
• Heat the oil in a deep saucepan or deep fryer until a thermometer registers 365 degrees F (185 degrees C). Carefully place 2 or 3 egg rolls at a time into the hot oil, and fry for about 4 or 5 minutes, turning the egg rolls over once, until golden brown. Remove the egg rolls with a tongs, and drain on paper towels.
