Cream Cheese Wontons

1 - 8 oz pkg cream cheese, softened
16 wonton wrappers
oil for frying
1 jar of sweet and sour sauce for dipping

1) Heat oil in deep-fat fryer or pour into a deep skillet on high temp.
2) While oil is heating, lay out as many wrappers as you plan to use.
3) Have a small bowl of water nearby to wet your fingers in.
4) Put a small dab of cream cheese in one corner of each wrapper, about 1/2" from the edges. Use about 1 tsp.
5) Using your fingers, wet the two edges nearest the cream cheese, then fold the other half down and seal the edges, making a triangle shape.
6) Seal the edges tightly, but try to leave small gaps at the corners so the triangles will not expand so much they burst.
7) Drop several wontons into oil. Turn over when the edges start to brown and cook for another minute or two.
8) Set on paper towels to drain, then serve hot with sweet and sour sauce.

Open houses? This would be perfect.
