- Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Slowly add liquid while mixing with a spoon. When all the liquid is absorbed put aside the spoon and knead the dough. Dough should be soft but dry and not stick to your hands. If the dough is sticky, add flour 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough fully kneaded. If flour is not fully absorbed add water 1 teaspoon at a time and mix. Break the 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 the dough into small pieces. Use your hands to roll each piece into small circles. Drop pieces in hot oil and let the dumplings fry until they are golden in color, about 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon or fork to remove the dumplings from oil. Place on a paper towel lined plate.
