Use this recipe for making steamed dumpling wrappers.

Ingredients

125 g/4 oz/1 cup Chinese wheat flour
3 tablespoons cornflour (cornstarch)
210 ml/7 fl oz water
1 tablespoon lard

Directions

Mix wheat flour and cornflour together in a bowl. Put measured water
and lard into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Turn off heat and
cool for exactly 20 seconds, then pour all at once onto the flour. Mix
with chopsticks or a wooden spoon. As soon as cool enough to handle,
knead to a smooth, pliable dough. Shape into cylinder and wrap in
plastic film to prevent drying out.
