Lay your wonton wrappers out on a flat surface such as a cutting board. You may wish to prepare the surface with some flour to prevent the wrappers from sticking.

Tips & Warnings
Don't leave any openings in your wonton. When you deep fry the wonton, anything inside could come out through these openings. Fold your wontons tightly.
