They are light and easy to make and very flavorful. They are very popular and can be made in advance and frozen before frying up.
@quince8800 yes you can but it will not melt but it will still taste good :)

@fleur257 you can actually mix 2 tbs of flour with 2 tbs or so of water and that will make a glue that you can use to bind the cheese rolls.

Hi - have you ever made sumsum or maybe it's simsim bread? My husband loves this bread and we used to get it but the bakery closed. It is a sweet bread with sesame seeds on top with honey or I think simple syrup?

@dedemed **Hi again, can this recipe be used with rice wontons (gluten free), instead of the wheat/gluten egg rolls? I wonder if they sell GF egg rolls dough?
I am just learning about GF bcos I just found out that I have to live GF. I will learn how to make the GF adjustments and use your recipes.
Your a very good teacher!
Thank you
