Excellent recipe ,very tasteful. love your recipe’s .john
The recipe sounds delicious but I can’t pin it to my gluten free recipe box
Thanks for the feedback! After making this recipe it inspired me to create a homemade won ton noodle (since of course I couldn’t find any pre-made gluten free won ton wrappers at my local grocery/health food stores). I’m working on it this week, so hopefully in a few weeks (if it turns out!) I’ll have the recipe ready to send out to everyone.
On the recipe page, at the right side under ‘Account Links’ there is a heart symbol that says ‘Add to favorites’. If you click that it will save it to your favorites. Which are then accessed at the top of the page under ‘My Favorites’
Please do, my mom would be so excited to make gluten free wontons. Please send to my email address if you can.
Thank you,
Kathy
Good Luck!
Will do! I am always leary of working with new gluten free dough recipes – I’m sure you know what I mean (cracking, tearing…can be very frustrating). But since I had such success making gluten free Puff Pastry (that dough rolled out beautifully!) rolling out those paper-thin won ton wrappers don’t scare me..ok, well maybe a little 🙂
