Recipe by Bergy

This is a lovely crisp finger food served warm to compliment a glass of wine or a cocktail. It is also good served as a snack. They are baked not deep fried! You may make the sauce posted or serve them with a prepared Teriaki sauce or a hot Thai chili sauce. You may double the recipe to make 48 appetizers. Remember to allow time for the Spring roll wrappers to defrost ahead of time- overnight in the fridge is best..
