Should Wonton Cups Be Hard in Elegant Artichoke Cups?

[MomToEli]

I made these for my family last night (testing, you know). They tasted really good, but the wonton cups are really hard. Should they be this way? I put them in the muffin cups oil side down, or so the oiled side was the outside of the cups. Is that right? It took about 8 minutes for the edges to start to brown during the first cooking ...

Anyway, the hardness really took away from them, I think, so I'm wondering if I've done something wrong.

Yes they should be crunchy. I use my kitchen spritzer and spray them once they are in the pan, so the tops. I always bake them the first time when I first get to the party, because it goes so fast I don't want to forget about them. They only need to be light golden.

Hope that helps

Mine are always pretty hard too. You definitely have to keep an eye on them. I always bake them at my house b/c I have burnt them so many times! HAHA!

I think I out mine in oil side up - maybe that is what I am doing wrong to burn them so easy! HA!

Shana, are you saying you spritz them w/oil rather than brush it on? Sound a whole lot easier!

Yes, I have been making these for a couple of years, they are my favorite. I press all the wrappers into the mini muffin pan and then I spray them with one of our yummy oils with my kitchen spritzer. Much easier!
