About Spring Roll Sheets

Spring rolls are a favorite for many of us. So, why not make the Spring Roll Wrappers too at home and enjoy this popular snack, made from the scratch. The procedure that I have chosen to make these Spring Roll Sheets is by following the batter method. I referred to my cooking school notes for both the recipe of the wrappers as well as the spring rolls. This is exactly how I had started making these after learning for the first time in my college years. I have more of such recipes, still saved with me. This is a collection that I’ll always cherish. Later, I did try making these Spring Roll Sheets with the dough method as well. But I concluded that the wrappers made with the batter method had a better texture when fried as compared to ones made with dough. You will have to have some good time in hand to make these Spring Roll Wrappers, as making these is time-consuming. But I’m guaranteeing you that it is all going to be worth the effort. I usually prepare these wrappers a day before I make the spring rolls. I have used all-purpose flour to make these Spring Roll Sheets as with whole wheat flour I was not able to get the desired result. The whole wheat ones were breaking when stuffed with the vegetables. These take time to get done, yet are not difficult to make. Just make a mind note of a few important points and begin with the process. Go through the tips in the sections below and become a pro in making these wrappers as well as spring rolls. This recipe yields such good wrappers that they taste exactly the same as the ones that are available at the best of Chinese restaurants across the country. Another good thing about these sheets is that these can be used to make samosa and other types of fried rolls too. With these measurements, you can make some 26 to 28 sheets. To make more, you will have to double the recipe. You can refrigerate the wrappers for about 7 days. If you freeze them, then for a month.

How to make Spring Roll Sheets

Make Batter

  1. In a bowl, take 1 cup all-purpose flour (maida), 3 tablespoons cornstarch and ¼ teaspoon salt or add according to taste.
  2. With a wired whisk or spoon, mix the dry ingredients.
  3. Add 1.25 cups water.
  4. Whisk well to a get smooth and slightly thin batter without any lumps.
  5. The batter should be of flowing consistency. Depending on the quality of flour, you can add less or more water. If the batter consistency is on the thinner side, then add a few tablespoons of all-purpose flour. If thick, then add a few tablespoons of water. You can come to know the consistency when you spread the batter on the pan. If it is runny on the pan, this means that the batter is thin.

Make Spring Roll Sheets

  1. Heat a non-stick flat pan or a well-seasoned cast iron skillet on low heat. The pan should become slightly hot and not too hot. With a paper tissue or a small piece of kitchen towel dipped in oil, grease the pan. For non-stick, you can skip oil. But if you feel the wrappers are sticking, then grease or brush the pan with oil. You can also opt to use a cast iron or steel pan. But make sure they are seasoned. Also do not use a heavy weight pan as you have to lift it everytime you make the wrappers.
  2. Now lift the pan above the stovetop burner. Add 2 tablespoons of the batter at once in the pan. Every time you have to lift the pan from the stovetop and spread the batter. If you keep on the stovetop and spread, you cannot do it properly. As the batter gets cooked before you spread it. You can also rotate and tilt the pan for the batter to spread. I am not so good in rotating the pan, so I spread the batter with the spoon. In the spoon I used, 2 tablespoons of the batter filled perfectly. You can also add 3 to 4 tablespoons of the batter in the pan. In this case, the springs rolls will be slightly large to large.
  3. While still holding the pan, gently, spread the spoon clockwise to make a small thin crepe. Similar to the way we make crepes or Dosa. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons more water if the batter becomes thick while preparing the wrappers.
  4. Keep the pan back on the stovetop. Remember that the crepes (spring roll sheets) have to be thin. If they become thick, then they will break while rolling and sealing.
  5. Now, on low heat, cook the crepe till the sides start curling up and the crepe becomes kind of translucent.
  6. The crepe just needs to be about cooked. No need to flip and cook the other side. Just cook one side. Lift the crepe with a spatula. Remember not to overcook. This will result in the wrappers being dry, chewy and it will not to be easy to roll or wrap them.
  7. Place the Spring Roll Wrappers on a tray or plate with the cooked side facing you.
  8. Allow the Spring Roll Sheets to cool and then only stack them with the cooked side on top. Keep them covered in a small casserole or bowl. Prepare more sheets this way in batches. Remember not to stack the wrappers while still hot as they will stick and cling on each other.
  9. Here all the Spring Roll Sheets are ready. Once they cool to room temperature, you can start making spring rolls. Or else keep them covered in a container in the refrigerator. While refrigerating, place parchment paper or butter paper between two sheets, so that they can be separated easily. You can store these sheets either in the refrigerator or in the freezer. In the refrigerator, these wrappers stay good for a week and in the freezer up to a month. After removing them from the freezer, thaw them completely to room temperature before using.
