BAKED CRAB WONTONS
These little crab bites put a smile on everyone's face. My family loves them for their size, texture and taste. I love them because they're quick and simple to make. They even won first prize in a cooking competition. Instead of baking them in the oven, you can deep fry them. -Danielle Arcadi, Peoria, Arizona

Steps:
- Press out as much liquid as possible from any crab meat you are using. Any excess moisture will soak through the wonton skins. In a medium bowl combine the crab, cream cheese, green onion, tarragon, salt and pepper either with your hands or a mixer with a paddle attachment.
- Take a wonton skin, place 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of each wrapper. With a finger dipped in egg, moisten the 2 adjacent sides; fold over the opposing corner to make a triangle. (You have some choices with shape. You can make a purse, tortellini or traditional triangle wontons.)
- Place the completed ones on a tray. Uncooked, rangoons can be wrapped and kept frozen for 1 to 2 weeks and dropped into the fryer frozen.
- Heat oil in a 4- or 5-quart (3.8- or 4.7-L) Dutch oven or pot until the oil reaches 360°F (182°C). Fry in small batches until golden about 2 minutes on each side and drain on a wire rack over a cookie sheet. I like to serve these with sweet chili or plum sauce.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality crab meat. Fresh or frozen crab meat is best, but canned crab meat can also be used.
- Use a good quality cream cheese. Full-fat cream cheese will give the wontons a richer flavor and creamier texture.
- Season the crab and cream cheese mixture well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
- Be careful not to overfill the wonton wrappers. Too much filling will make the wontons difficult to fold and seal.
- Cook the wontons until they are golden brown and crispy. This will ensure that the filling is cooked through and the wontons are delicious.
- Serve the wontons with your favorite dipping sauce. Sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce, or even a simple vinegar-based sauce are all good options.
