Divide the dough into equal small pieces, about 7 to 8 pieces. Divide the dough into equal small pieces, about 7 to 8 pieces. Roll each piece between the palms of your hands in a circular motion to form a round ball.
In a frying pan, pour the cooking oil and put it to heat on a medium fire.
Place the round dough into the heated oil. Turn the heat down to medium-low and let to dough fry on all sides.
Fry until the dumplings are golden brown on all sides and the flour inside is fully cooked.
Notes
You may need more or less water than I use in the above recipe. Slowly stir the water into the flour until you make a soft dough. The dough should not be sticky.
Butter gives the dumplings a softer texture. This recipe takes 30g of room-temperature butter if you wish to use it.
