Hi Roseanne, if they are round, they are for dumplings! Luckily we have many dumpling recipes: https://thewoksoflife.com/category/recipes/dumplings/

Hi Julie, oh dear, you didn’t have to throw those away! I actually folded wontons that way for years as a kid without much fuss and the family ate and enjoyed them all the same. But, noted. I will adjust the instructions.

Guys – YOU SKIPPED A STEP! You have it in your photos, but no mention in your written directions! (I am only capable of following written directions, btw)
After #3…
3. Fold in half to create a rectangle.
You need to add the directions to “Use your fingers to “Fold the “outer half” (the half wiht with no filling) of the wonton wrapper away from you”. This is shown in the photo, but not in the directions.
Then continue with
4. Grasp the bottom corners of the rectangle (the filling side, not the seam side), and dab one of the corners with a little water.
5. Bring the two corners together and squeeze to seal.
Adding this step — all of my Bonnet wontons were absolutely perfect after a year of failing.
Because I was missing the “Fold the wonton wrapper” step, I was getting some crazy looking stupid wontons that I was constantly throwing away because they didn’t look right. Now I figured out how to make them look right.

Can you please add the missing written step? This was awful for me. I threw away TRAYS of filled wontons because they looked so terrible and I could not serve them to my friends! Please fix these instructions.

Thank you for these instructions, Sarah! I’ve been practicing (struggling with) different wonton styles for a bit, and this bonnet method was easy, pretty, and allowed for more filling than I can usually manage. Yum!

You mean to make the dough? I don’t think that would work unfortunately!
