How To Make crab puffs

  • 1
    Combine cream cheese, crab, garlic, Worcestershire, hot pepper sauce, salt and pepper Place 1/2 teaspoon (slightly rounded) crab filling in center of each wonton wrapper. Spread small amount margarine on two adjacent sides of wrapper Fold one side over to form a triangle
  • 2
    Press at edges to seal.(The margarine helps, since the wrappers are lightly floured and resist sticking.) Pinch in middle, then fold down opposite corners of triangle as though folding a paper airplane, forming wings
  • 3
    Deep fry in hot vegetable oil until golden brown Drain on paper towels Serve with hot mustard by mixing dry mustard powder and water to desired consistency.

    NOTE: These can be assembled and refrigerated or frozen before frying. Be sure to keep them in an airtight container because the wonton skins dry out easily
