After skimming through one too many complicated dumpling recipes, we finally cracked the code to soft, stretchy wrappers that can handle any filling you throw at them. Whether you’re going savoury, sweet, or a little experimental, these homemade wrappers are here to make your dumpling game strong (and your folding oddly satisfying).
Dumpling Wrappers
Store-bought wrappers? Not today. These homemade dumpling wrappers are surprisingly simple to whip up and way more satisfying. You get tender, pliable dough that rolls out like a dream — ideal for all kinds of dumplings, potstickers, or whatever filling adventure you’re planning.
Ingredients
- 320 g all-purpose flour (2½ cups)
- 175 ml very warm water (¾ cup)
Instructions
- In a bowl, create a well in the flour and gradually stir in warm water using a spoon or chopsticks.
- Once a shaggy dough forms, knead with your hands for 2 minutes until it comes together.
- Cover the bowl and let the dough rest for 15 minutes.
- Knead the rested dough for another 5 minutes until smooth.
- Cover again and let it rest at room temperature for 1 hour.
- Divide the dough into small pieces and roll each into thin circles (around 3½ inches wide).
- Dust each wrapper with cornstarch or any flour except all-purpose to prevent sticking.
- Stack gently, cover with cling film, and store in an airtight container.
- Refrigerate and use within 2 days.
Notes
This recipe yields around 42–48 wrappers depending on how thinly you roll them.
