How to make springroll wraps at home

Homemade Spring Roll wrappers/ Lumpia wrappers are usually healthier than store bought spring roll wrappers because you know what goes into it and it has no chemical preservatives..and another good thing is that it's not so difficult to make..once you get the hang of it :-) .
There are actually 3 methods(the smear method, the brush method and the crepe method) but the smear method is the original method used by Asians and that's what I'll be showing you below.

Homemade Spring Roll wrappers/sheets ingredients:-

Makes about 25+ wrappers

- 300 grams all purpose flour

 Notes:
- As the batter is used up, it will begin to make smaller wrappers, but by then, you already have enough for your spring rolls
- If the spring roll wrapper is too light for your liking, you can double it and use as desired.
