Let me first humbly say that egg rolls are my signature dish--the one thing family members always request that I make when there is a big gathering. However, I've always used store-bought egg roll wraps. Tonight I found myself scrambling for something for dinner. I live in a rural area and didn't want to drive to the store, and since I had most of the other stuff I usually put in my egg rolls, I decided to make egg rolls in these shells. I thought the recipe was easy to work with, like others have said, but honestly, I would never work this hard again unless I was desperate. They took a long time to roll out. As others have said, my blobby shapes worked out fine so don't be worried about perfect squares. Also found that although they cooked up nicely enough, they didn't get crunchy like the store-boughts. They turned out okay, but definitely weren't my signature egg rolls. But thanks for posting--I always wanted to try making my own wraps.
