•Cook time: 30 minutes
•Total time: 45minutes
Utensils needed
• A Non-stick frying pan
• A Pastry brush
• A Paper towel
• A damp cloth or Aluminium foil
• A kitchen shear/ Sharp knife / Pizza cutter
Step 2: Add water while stirring constantly to make a smooth runny paste
Step 3: In a small container, mix a little vegetable oil with water. Place the non-stick pan on the burner and reduce the temperature to the lowest. At "NO POINT" should you increase the temperature.
Step 4: With a paper towel, Rub a little vegetable oil and water mixture all around the surface of the pan. Lightly brush the runny paste over the pan. Keep dipping and brushing quickly till you are sure every part within has been coated evenly but thinly.
Step 5: Leave for some seconds till you see the pastry film forming a solid film. Remove from the pan and place on a plate covered with a clean damp towel or Foil. This is to prevent it from drying out
Step 6: Clean the pan with a paper towel and repeat the procedure till the whole batter is used up.
Step 7: Cut the pastry wraps into perfect squares with a kitchen shear, knife, or any sharp utensil
Step 8: This can now be used for springrolls or samosa. For samosa, all you have to do is to divide the cutout square into two to form a triangle which your filling would be put in. The prepared samosa & spring roll wrappers can be kept refrigerated till you are about to use.

Dobby tnx for this buh pls what quantity of water did u use and is corn flour the same one used for corn meal?.
ReplyDeleteHi Anon,
Deleteyou could use about ¾ Cup of Water or more if needed, just to get a spreadable consistency. Cornflour also called corn starch (smooth like powder and pure white) is different from cornmeal (coarse and yellow or pale white). cornmeal is "whole ground corn" while cornstarch is the processed "starch" gotten from the kernel of the corn.
Very useful post dear, thanks for sharing wonderful information.

DeleteThanks 4 d recipe but is it a must to use the corn flour together wt the all purpose flour? Where can I get the cornflour
ReplyDeleteHi Anon!
Deleteyes it is a must to use cornflour together with all purpose flour. Cornflour helps in giving that Smooth see through effect & feel the springroll pastry usually has. you could get cornflour (also known as corn starch) from baking/cake ingredients vendors near you.
Helo dobby,tanks for d tips.I tried d recipe u gave,buh d wrapper was breaking wen I tried to put my fillings,pls tell me wat I did wrong dat caused d breaking.tanks
ReplyDeletehi juliet,
DeleteWhen spreading the wraps on the pan with the brush, make sure every part of it is adequately covered. Keep applying the runny mixture while the pan heats up on the burner till you achieve that. Also, reduce the amount of filling you add before rolling to prevent breakage. Hope this helps.
I also noticed that it helps of your filling is cold when you wrap your samoosas.
DeleteTanks, and welldone wit ds good work,
ReplyDeleteThanks anon!

DeleteHi Dobby, i just wanted to ask if I can use a cooking spray instead of the vegetable oil and water mixture.
ReplyDeleteYes you can Vivian
DeleteHi dobby, I tried making this, but it was breaking and sticking on the pan. Pls wat do u think caused it?
ReplyDeleteFor it to turn out perfect, the pan should be non-stick.
DeleteHow long should the pastry be left on the burner?
ReplyDeleteDepending on the heat, 30secs to 45secs.
