Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- ½ cup butter, cut into cubes and softened
- ½ cup cold water
- 1 cup vegetable oil for frying
Steps
- Gather all ingredients.
- Mix flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl.
- Rub in butter until the mixture is crumbly.
- Mix in water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to form a firm dough; knead briefly.
- Heat oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Break off pieces of dough and shape them into biscuit-like patties.
- Place just enough of the dumplings into the hot oil so they are not crowded; fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.
- Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels before serving.
