Won-ton wrappers are a thin sheet of dough typically used as a wrapper for Chinese dumplings. They can be filled with an endless variety of meat, veggies, or cheese. However, the traditional won-ton wrappers are made of wheat, which is not suitable for those who suffer from celiac disease or gluten intolerance. This recipe for gluten-free Won-ton wrappers makes it easy to enjoy this popular dish even if you have a gluten intolerance. These thin wrappers are perfect as appetizers or as part of a meal. You can use them in soups or fry them for a crispy texture.

Instructions

1.	In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, and modified tapioca starch.
2.	In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and gradually add them to the flour mixture until you get a crumbly texture.
3.	Slowly add warm water, one tablespoon at a time until the dough comes together, and knead for 3-5 minutes until smooth.
4.	Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
5.	Roll out the dough into thin sheets and cut them into equal squares.
6.	Place a teaspoon of your chosen filling in the center of each wrapper and seal the edges by pinching them together.
7.	Bring a pot of water to boil, and drop the Won-ton wrappers into the water. Cook for about 3 minutes or until they float to the surface and then transfer them to a plate. Repeat until you finish all the wrappers.
