Instructions

  1. Sift flour, cornstarch and salt into a bowl, and make a well in the middle.
  2. Add the egg and pour in the water.
  3. Mix the egg and water into the flour mixture with a spoon.
  4. When this all binds together, scrape the spoon clean, and use your hands to work the dough into a smooth ball, leaving the bowl as free of the mix as possible.
  5. Knead the dough on a clean surface until it's very smooth.
  6. Cut the dough in half and wrap both portions in plastic wrap.
  7. Set aside for 15-30 minutes.
  8. Roll out one portion at a time.
  9. Dust work surface and rolling pin lightly with cornstarch, then roll out dough until thin and even.
  10. Either cut into squares, or use a circle cutter for dim sum and dumplings.
