Beer Cheese Wontons

Category: Deep Fried

4 oz cream cheese
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 tbs corn starch
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/4 cup beer
1/2 tsp sriracha
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
24 wonton wrappers
2 tbs green onions, chopped
1/4 cup canola oil

In a food processor combine the first 9 ingredients (everything except the wonton wrappers, green onions and the oil), process until well combined.

One at a time, place the wonton wrappers on a flat surface. Using your fingers or a pastry brush, wet the edges or the wrappers with water.

Place about 1 tbs of filling in the center of the wrapper. Sprinkle green onions on top (about 1/4 tsp). Fold wrapper over to create a triangle, press the edges together until very well sealed. Brush the bottom of the triangle with water and fold the corners into the center and press into shape.

Heat oil in a pan over medium high heat until hot but not smoking. Adjust heat to make sure it does not get to the smoking point, or the wontons will burn. Carefully add wontons to the hot oil, cooking until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.

Serve immediately, wontons will get soggy if they sit
