Rainbow Dumpling Skin
Ingredients
500g plain flour
Some water
*As I do not have an exact measurement, you have to adjust the amount of the flour and water by yourself. As for 500g of plain flour, you need about 1 cup of water*
Colouring Gel (1-2 drops each)
Red
Orange
Yellow
Green
Blue
Purple
Method
1. Put 500g of plain flour in a big mixing bowl or plate. Add some water (1/3 cup first), do not add too much water at one time, add it gradually. Knead the flour until smooth and not sticky to your hands. You may add some more water if its too dry, if its too wet and sticky, you have to add a bit more flour (recommend to add 1/2 tbsp at a time).
2. Divide the dough into 6 portions. Put 1-2 drops of different colourings onto each dough. Knead the dough until its evenly coloured (it may take some time).
3. Use a rolling pin to flatten the dough as thin as possible. Cut a few round dumpling skins with a round mould.
4. Repeat step 3 to finish up the excessive dough from the cut out until its all used up.
*The amount of dumpling skin that you can make is depends on the size of the round mould. I made 10 dumpling skin out of each coloured dough*
