Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup milk
- oil for frying about 1-1/2 cup
Instructions
- Add flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl and stir to combine. Pour in the milk and stir until combined. Then roll the mixture into a ball and lightly knead until it comes together.
- Break off about 10 pieces of dough and form them into balls. Set them aside.
- In a 10-inch skillet, heat enough oil over medium heat to fry the dumplings, until the oil is about 350 degrees.
- When the dumplings are brown on one side, flip them and allow them to continue to cook until they are browned on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Once done, remove dumplings from the oil and place on paper towels or a cooling rack to drain off any excess oil.
- Serve and enjoy.
Notes
- The amount of milk added may depend on the brand of flour used. You may need a little more or a little less. Slowly stir in the milk until the flour is moistened and can easily form into a ball of dough.
- Test frying one dumpling before adding the remaining. That will help determine if your oil is the perfect temperature for frying.
