I really want to show off my mini muffin pan with wontons, but can't locate many recipes. Anyone know of good ones?
 
Berries and Wonton Cups are on here. The are good. There was a thread a while back with wontons recipes on it, try a search.
 
I know they are not wontnos but the prefiterole puffs are great to make in the mini muffin pan! Sorry I can't be more help with the original question...
 
Wonton wrappers are a great ingredient to use. You can fill them up with a variety of dips and fillings and tailor them to your show's theme. Here are some ideas where you can showcase the mini tart shaper, mini muffin, and small scoop:

asian - crab cream cheese & green onion (like a crab rangoon)
italian - bruchetta
mexican - taco meat/pork carnitas/chicken, cheese, tomato, sour cream
indian - potatoes, peas, spices (like a samosa)
spanish - baby/salad shrimp, lemon juice, avocado, cilantro (like ceviche)
 
You could even make them sweet, when you make the cups spritz with oil and sprinkle with sugar or cinnamon sugar. Then you could put in fruit salsa, chocolate mousse. This is making me want to make some.:p
 
Have you tried Pecan Tassies? They are really good. I've also made chocolate chip cookies with a kiss in the middle.

Does anyone have a traditional wanton recipe other than this one? My kids and I didn't care for these, but loved the whole wrapping experience. :)
 
ground pork, cooked and drained
finely diced water chestnuts
pressed ginger root (just a little)
soysauce
green onions finely sliced
Sorry I don't have the specific measurements...I just throw it all together and hope it tastes good. I haven't baked them before though. I usually wrap them and fry them in the Stir fry skillet.
 
QuestionWhere do you find wonton wrappers? I wondered all over the grocery store yesterday & couldn't find them anywhere.

I think they should be in the produce section
 
I think they are in the produce section of our grocery store. At our Target they are near the fresh herbs, bag salad and refrigerated dressings.
 
another use for the mini muffin pan.....

take peanut butter cookie dough, roll into a ball and put in each cup....then insert a mini peanut butter cup in the middle and bake. Mmmmmmmm
 
I bet you could also use the Baked Potstickers recipe using the ruffle-style wonton shape in your mini-muffin pan...
