Ingredients
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons of baking powder
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- ¾ cup of water
Instructions
- Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Mix ingredients well. Add water slowly, stirring continually, until a soft dough forms.
- Pliable dough should not be sticky. Add water or flour if the dough is too dry or sticky.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for a few minutes until smooth and elastic. Form golf ball-sized dough balls.
- Roll each ball to 1/4-inch thickness using a rolling pin. Cut the dough into small pieces with a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
- Heat several inches of vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium-high heat. When the dough sizzles and floats, the oil is ready. Fry the dumplings one at a time in heated oil until golden and crispy.
- Remove dumplings from oil with a slotted spoon or tongs and drain on a paper towel-lined dish.
