Wonton wrappers or pastries

If you seek out weight watchers low point recipes like I do you'll see a lot of wonton recipes online.

My hubbie got them at an Asian market in Dublin city and I'm delighted with all the recipes I can now try out!

I've found it hard to get the exact points on them. According to hungry girl (http://www.hungry-girl.com/biteout/show/2032) they're 4 points for 8. So I'm guessing that's 2 for 1 point? She has some tasty recipes for the wontons and I'm definitely going to try the lasagne cupcakes.

I think the cupcake idea is very handy, they can be filled with all sorts of different options.
Last night I tried two types. Buffalo chicken wontons and sausage and mushroom wontons. I did both in the "cupcake style".

To make the wonton cupcakes -

1. preheat your oven to 180 degrees C (350 F)
2. Get a cupcake tray and spray with low cal cooking spray
3. Place a wonton pastry/wrapper in each cup
4. Spray them with the low cal spray
5. Bake for approx 8 minutes or less for fan assisted ovens, keep an eye on them.

You now have perfect little parcels to fill as you please.

Here are two fillings I tried.

Buffalo chicken -
4 pro points for the mix, fills approx 6 wonton cupcakes

Ingredients:
1 pack (150g) of pre cooked torn chicken
15g Salad cream, light 70%

Directions:

2. Heat on a low heat in a pot on the hob or in the microwave for approx 1 minute 30 seconds, stopping to stir once or twice.

Sausage & mushroom -
5 pro points for the mix, fills approx 6-10 wonton cupcakes depending on how much mushrooms/veg you add.
