Crab Rangoon

We made these today to go with our Butter Yakki- they were so good.  Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

Ingredients

• 1 quart oil for deep frying
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 2 (6 ounce) cans crabmeat, drained and flaked
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons water chestnuts, drained and chopped ( I didn't have any of this- so it was omitted)
• 1 (14 ounce) package wonton wrappers

Directions

1. In a large, heavy sauce pan heat oil to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese, crabmeat, garlic powder, paprika and water chestnuts.
3. Place approximately 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center of wonton wrappers. Moisten wrapper edges with water, fold over the mixture and pinch to seal.
4. In small batches, fry the wontons 3 to 5 minutes, or until golden brown.
