Egg Roll Wrappers
Homemade egg roll wrappers can be a real treat for the self-sufficient cook! Getting the wok to the correct temperature may be a challenge. If the batter sets before the wrapper is fully formed, the wok is too hot; if the wrapper edges are thin, it's too cool. Experiment and enjoy!
