Fried Dumplings
Ingredients
1 1⁄2 Cup all-purpose flour
1 1⁄2 tsp baking powder
2 TB Sugar
1⁄2 tsp Salt
1⁄4 Cup milk + 1⁄4 Cup water combined
Vegetable oil, for pan frying.
Preparation
Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl. Slowly add liquid while mixing with a spoon. When all the liquid is absorbed put aside spoon and knead dough. Dough should be soft but dry and not stick to your hands. If dough is sticky, add flour 1tablespoon at a time until dough is soft and dry. If flour is not fully absorbed add water 1 teaspoon at a time and mix. Break dough into 3 pieces and roll into long strips on a cutting board.
Heat oil in a skillet, for about 2 minutes, over medium heat. Cut strips into small pieces. Use your hands to roll each piece into small circles. Drop pieces in hot oil and let dumplings fry until they are golden in color, about 5 minutes. Use slotted spoon or fork to remove dumplings from oil. Drain
