Ingredients

  • 358 g Plain flour
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • ¾ tsp Salt I use pink himalayan salt
  • 170 ml Water
  • 473 ml Oil

Instructions

  • Combine the flour, salt and baking powder in a mixing bowl.
  • Gradually add water to the dry ingredients, and knead until you make a soft dough.
  • 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.
