How To Make Your Own Wheat Paste!

Boil 1 cup of water. In a cup or a bowl make a thin mixture of 3 tablespoons of  flour and cold water (just enough to wet all the flour and make it liquid enough to pour). Turn the flame of the boiling water down to just above simmer (medium flame). Pour the cold mixture slowly into the hot water while stirring constantly for about 2-3 minutes.Bring to a boil. When it thickens, shut it off and allow to cool. For better strength, while its starting to cool, stir in 1 tablespoon of sugar. Allow it to completely cool before use. Almost completely cool will still do the job. If after it cools your wheat paste is too thick simply add water and mix around until the paste stirs semi smooth. Quite often while cooking, the evaporation of water creates the thickness. For a larger amount simply multiply the ingredients.
