Spring roll wrap is a pastry used in making the popular spring roll snack which is quite popular during parties, ceremonies, birthdays, meetings, etc. Contrary to stories you might have heard about making spring roll pastry wraps, the pastry is one of the easiest to make. One of the biggest misconceptions about this is it cannot be prepared at home or it’s difficult to prepare but that is so untrue. Today, I’ll be teaching you one of my favorite methods on how to make this easy pastry right in your home from scratch. This pastry also doubles as the pastry used in making samosas. This means apart from the first method I gave HERE, you can also use this pastry for your samosas.
How to make spring roll and samosa pastry wrappers (Watch)
Ingredients:::
• 1 cup cornstarch (Cornflour)
• 1 cup Wheat flour (all-purpose flour)
• 1/2 tsp. Salt
• 3 Cups Water
• 2 tbsp.Vegetable oil
Other Things You’ll Need
• A Non-stick frying pan
• A Pastry brush
• A Paper towel
• A damp cloth or Aluminium foil
• A kitchen shear/ Sharp knife / Pizza cutter
Step 2: Add water while stirring constantly to make a smooth runny paste
Step 3: In a small container, mix a little vegetable oil with water. Place the non-stick pan on the burner and reduce the temperature to the lowest. At “NO POINT” should you increase the temperature.
Step 4: With a paper towel, Rub a little vegetable oil and water mixture all around the surface of the pan. Lightly brush the runny paste over the pan. Keep dipping and brushing quickly till you are sure every part within has been coated evenly but thinly.
Step 5: Leave for some seconds till you see the pastry film forming a solid film. Remove from the pan and place on a plate covered with a clean damp towel or Foil. This is to prevent it from drying out
Step 6: Clean the pan with a paper towel and repeat the procedure till the whole batter is used up.
Step 7: Cut the pastry wraps into perfect squares with a kitchen shear, knife, or any sharp utensil
Step 8: This can now be used for spring rolls or samosa. For samosa, all you have to do is to divide the cutout square into two to form a triangle which your filling would be put in. The prepared samosa & spring roll wrappers can be kept refrigerated till you are about to use.

Dobby tnx for this buh pls what quantity of water did u use and is corn flour the same one used for corn meal?.
Hi Anon,
you could use about ¾ Cup of Water or more if needed, just to get a spreadable consistency. Cornflour also called corn starch (smooth like powder and pure white) is different from cornmeal (coarse and yellow or pale white). cornmeal is "whole ground corn" while cornstarch is the processed "starch" gotten from the kernel of the corn.
Very useful post dear, thanks for sharing wonderful information.

Thanks 4 d recipe but is it a must to use the corn flour together wt the all purpose flour? Where can I get the cornflour
Hi Anon!
yes it is a must to use cornflour together with all purpose flour. Cornflour helps in giving that Smooth see through effect & feel the springroll pastry usually has. you could get cornflour (also known as corn starch) from baking/cake ingredients vendors near you.
Helo dobby,tanks for d tips.I tried d recipe u gave,buh d wrapper was breaking wen I tried to put my fillings,pls tell me wat I did wrong dat caused d breaking.tanks
hi juliet,
When spreading the wraps on the pan with the brush, make sure every part of it is adequately covered. Keep applying the runny mixture while the pan heats up on the burner till you achieve that. Also, reduce the amount of filling you add before rolling to prevent breakage. Hope this helps.
Tanks, and welldone wit ds good work,
Thanks anon!

you're welcome anon.
Hi Dobby, I use this method for samosas but I usually add one egg and no corn starch. It still comes out right though I struggle with the wrappers because they are usually sticky. I sure will try this out. Well done.
Thanks Anon 🙂

I tried making the sheets but my spring rolls were like papad when i fried them. What could be the reason and also want to know how thin should the sheet? My sheets were very thin
The sheets are supposed to be very thin. The thinner the better as long as it doesn't break.
uh I dot think it's called corn starch for you or corn flour uh I think the local name is maize something or Masara gari any thing making sense? Maybe?
Can I use Canola oil instead of Vegetable oil? I am on a mission to try and make Samosas. I am craving them so badly and figured either I will nail it or crash and burn. Lol
lol! sure you can.
dobby thanks for d tips,i'll try it out and give u feedback
You're welcome Temitayo.
Hi Dobby, I made my springroll today without the cornstarch, I used the other ingredients and it came out well. I added a little sugar because I didn't like the plain taste of the skin.
I tried this, trust me it worked out just fine… Collected a job on it, though the process is stressful bt works out great.. BT my problem is I make it too thick so it usually ends up fat…..bt I will work on that.. Thanks @dobbysignature
Thanks for the feedback Sholsy 🙂
Glad it turned out fine Bigeye. Thanks for the feedback.
I used this recipe but its always breaking when folding even after reducing the quantity of my refills, pls where did I miss out
You probably made the wraps thick
I always love your food recipe Dobby 🙂 your recipe is simply inspiring and fabulous. Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome sargento 🙂
You're welcome sargento 🙂
Thanks sargento
Hi Dobby, i just wanted to ask if I can use a cooking spray instead of the vegetable oil and water mixture.
Hi dobby, I tried making this, but it was breaking and sticking on the pan. Pls wat do u think caused it?
How long should the pastry be left on the burner?
I also noticed that it helps of your filling is cold when you wrap your samoosas.
Yes you can Vivian
For it to turn out perfect, the pan should be non-stick.
Depending on the heat, 30secs to 45secs.
I have been following your blog for about 2 years now and I have learnt a lot from it. You are doing a great job. Lovely illustrations and directions. This is the first comment am making. Been feeling so bad for learning so much and not giving a feedback. Keep up the good work.

I didn’t think making a samosa or springroll wrapper would be this simple, thank you very much for sharing, but I have a question for you. Can I just use the cornflour only, instead of using both cornflour and wheat flour?
You can use either one alone.
