Cool thanks guys. My efforts came unstuck when didn't quite use enough corn flour to stop them sticking, needless to say it was tricky when I went to fill them. I will try again, but a few days later I bought a pack for $2.55 at the Chinese grocers near hubby's work... Oh that was easy. (as much as I am making lots of things from scratch at the moment, it is taking time up) so now I also have them  in the freezer for a quick lunch or something one weekend. Hehehe

Yes the cornflour is rather essential isn't it. I learnt the hard way!  :'(

Maybe someone can clarify this for me but I thought wonton dough was made with flour, eggs & a little water & gow gee dough was made with flour & JUST water. The eggs make a dough that is easier to work & can be rolled paper thin, whereas gow gee is not as robust.  ???

My Chinese DIL,  explained the difference to me but I then immediately forgot. :o
The difference is that the flour and water ones are for steaming and the egg ones can be boiled.  I think I have got this right. ;D

Yes that makes sense. Pasta is an egg dough & you can boil  that.

Thanks for the clarification.
