Gluten Free Wonton Recipe

Gluten Free Pastry FlourWe’re pleased to bring everyone this gluten free wonton recipe to try out at home. Jill, from Elsternwick, was kind enough to send us this recipe and has let us know this is a Work in Progress for her; however, the results Jill has achieved so far have been really good.

One of our team also tried out Jill’s recipe with good results (see picture below of how they came out).

You will need

250ml water
45ml Canola oil
400g Well and Good Pastry Flour

Filling:
500g extra lean pork mince
6 spring onions finely chopped
1 carrot finely diced
1 very small piece of cabbage, chopped small
1 tin of water chestnuts, drained and diced small
About a tablespoon of Massel chicken stock powder
A good splash of fish sauce and Fountain soy sauce

5. Cut out circles using an 88mm cutter.
