  • Mixing Bowl
  • Rolling Pin

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Add flour to a large mixing bowl.
  • Heat water to just below a boil, then slowly add water to the flour.
  • Whisk together using a fork or chopsticks until a shaggy dough is formed.
  • Next, use your hands to knead the dough into a ball with very little (if any) flour remaining in the bowl. (If the dough is too hot for your hands, allow it to cool first.)
  • Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and rest for at least 30 minutes, up to one hour.
  • Once the dough is rested, remove it from the bowl and place on a clean surface.
  • Divide the dough in half.
  • Using a rolling pin, gently roll the dough out until you have achieved a very thin, even sheet. The thinner the dough, the easier it is to fold into a dumpling.
  • The dough shouldn't stick to the roller or to the surface, but if it does, just sprinkle more flour to prevent sticking.
  • Tip: If you own a pasta roller/sheeter, this is a very useful tool for achieving a uniform thickness. Feel free to run your dumpling dough through the pasta machine.
  • Once you have a thin sheet of dough (about 1/16th of an inch thick), use a large circle cookie cutter or another sharp circular object to cut out circles that are roughly 3-inches in diameter.
  • Do this until all of the dough has been cut.
  • Take any dough scraps and combine them together, then roll out again, and repeat until all dough is used up.

Notes

  • If you own a pasta roller/sheeter, this is a very useful tool for achieving a uniform thickness. Feel free to run your dumpling dough through the pasta machine.
  • Some readers have suggested using cornstarch to flour your work surface instead of regular flour to make sure that the wrappers don't become too dense.
  • Make this gluten free by simply substituting the all-purpose flour for fine white rice flour.
  • You can also roll the wrappers in a more traditional way: Before step 2, roll the dough out into a long snake or log shape. Cut the log into about 16 even pieces, roll a piece into a ball, flatten with your hand, then use a dowel to roll into the desired thinness, with the edges thinner than the center.
