Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Non-stick pan
  • Basting brush or pastry brush
  • Clean cloth or paper towel (for covering wrappers)

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1½ cups water
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon oil (optional, for flexibility)

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Prepare the Lumpia Batter
    In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour and salt until well combined.Gradually add water while stirring continuously to prevent lumps.
    Add oil (if using) and mix until the batter is smooth and has a runny but not too watery consistency. It should be light and slightly sticky, but not thick.
  • Step 2: Heat the Pan
    Heat a non-stick pan over low heat. There is no need to grease the pan, as the batter is naturally non-stick.
  • Step 3: Cook the Wrappers
    Using a basting brush or pastry brush, dip the brush into the batter and lightly brush a thin layer onto the pan. Use circular motions to form an even, round wrapper.
    Once the edges begin to lift and pop up, gently peel off the wrapper from the pan. This should take about 30-40 seconds per wrapper.
    If you prefer a thicker wrapper, apply another thin layer of batter over the first layer before peeling off.
  • Step 4: Keep Wrappers Soft & Flexible
    Place cooked wrappers on a plate and cover with a clean cloth or paper towel to prevent drying out.
    Repeat the process with the remaining batter until all wrappers are cooked.

Notes

💡 Pro Tips for the Best Lumpia Wrappers

 
✔ Use a non-stick pan – This ensures smooth, even cooking without the need for oil.

✔ Control the consistency – If the batter is too thick, add a little more water; if too runny, add a bit more flour.

✔ Keep the heat low – Cooking on low heat prevents the wrappers from drying out or cooking too quickly.

✔ Brush lightly – Applying too much batter at once can create thick, uneven wrappers. Use gentle, circular motions with the brush.

✔ Cover cooked wrappers – Keep them soft and pliable by covering them with a clean cloth while you cook the rest.
