Butterflies
Watch these fly away!
Ingredients
- Several package ready-made wonton or egg roll wrappers
- 1 jar orange marmalade
- 1 jar apricot jam
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Heat 2 or 3 inches of cooking oil to about 375 degrees F in a wide-top pan or
deep-fat fryer.
- With tongs pick up an individual wonton wrapper in the center and
squeeze, creating a butterfly or bow shape. Holding the center, plunge the wrapper
(still held in tongs) under the hot oil until it turns pale golden and crisps.
- Drain
on paper towel and immediately place on rack to cool.
- To make the glaze, mix equal parts of marmalade and apricot jam in a wide-top
saucepan. Boil over medium heat until thickened. Using the forceps, quickly dip
cooled butterfly completely into glaze, drain over pot and put on rack to cool.
- When dipping these, move rapidly so the glaze is very thin and will dry.
