Salty Dough
2 1/4 cups glutinous rice flour
1/4 cup potato flour
3/4 tps salt
1/2 tps granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups boiling water
To make wrapper: Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil for several min
Meanwhile, combine the first 4 ingredients
Now, measure the amount of water needed & return that to a boil & immediately pour the boiling water over the dry ingredients
Mix well & knead on floured board for 3 or 4 min
Sweet Dough
2 cups glutinous rice flour
1 1/2 sweet potatoes, cooked & mashed
(about 1 1/4 pound)
1 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
1/4 cup water
To make wrapper: Mix the first 2 ingredients in a bowl
Dissolve brown sugar in water & bring to a rolling boil
Immediately add water to flour mixture & stir until dough is firm
Knead lightly for a few min until dough is well mixed
COMMENTS: This dough is usually deep fried with meat or sweet fillings
The texture is most interesting because the wrappers become soft & chewy on the inside & crunchy & crispy on the outside
Yields 2 1/2 to 3 dozen wrappers
