My friend at the Chinese take out makes his own spring roll wrappers for their restaurant. I’ve watched him do it many times and I’ve been wanting to try it forever. Well, I got to do it today and it was so much fun! Messy but yummy fun.
Update: The wrappers made above were turned into these delicious Vietnamese Spring Rolls for comida the next day.
The differences in colour was due to me testing various cooking times to get them to the right crispiness.

Hi Alice,
I kind of cheated in that my friend gave me the batter. However, its just regular flour, water, salt and oil. He doesn’t use a recipe, just does it by feel. So, I still have to work out the recipe before I can post it. Today, I turned the wrappers into Vietnamese spring rolls and they were great! The wrappers fried up nice and crispy so I’ll definitely do it again.
