Directions
-
Place the all-purpose flour on a clean work surface and create a well in the center.
-
Crack the eggs into the well and add 2 tablespoons of water.
-
Gradually incorporate the flour into the eggs using a fork, adding more water one tablespoon at a time if the mixture is too dry.
-
Knead the dough vigorously for 10 minutes until it becomes smooth, elastic, and no longer sticky.
-
Cover the dough ball with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes to relax the gluten.
-
Divide the dough into manageable pieces and roll each piece out on a floured board until it is paper-thin.
-
Use a knife or pastry cutter to slice the rolled dough into 3-inch squares.
-
Keep the cut wrappers covered with a damp towel to prevent drying out until ready to fill.
