   Cut the dough into quarters.

9. IX

   Place one of the quarters on a well-floured surface, and roll out with a rolling pin until very thin.

10. X

    Cut the dough into the desired shapes (usually squares or circles).

11. XI

    If stacking, dust the wrappers lightly with flour or cornstarch to keep them from sticking together.
