Fried Dough Dumpling Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup lukewarm water
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• Oil for deep frying

Instructions:

1. In a mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Mix well.
2. Add lukewarm water and vegetable oil to the bowl. Mix until dough forms.
3. Dust your hands with flour and knead the dough for about 5 to 7 minutes or until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover and let it rest for 10 minutes.
4. Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each one into a ball.
5. Heat enough oil in a deep pan for deep frying. Oil should be hot enough, but not smoking.
6. Flatten each ball of dough into a somewhat thick circle and fry each side until golden brown. Flip once and repeat until both sides are crispy fried.
7. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain excess oil onto a paper towel-lined plate. Serve hot and enjoy!

Verdict:

These fried dough dumplings are airy, crispy, and sweet with a slightly doughy texture on the inside. They’re easy to make and have a comforting flavor that will remind you of simple pleasures.

Serving Suggestions:

Enjoy as it is or serve with your preferred dipping sauce or honey. You could even sprinkle some powdered sugar or cinnamon on top of the dumplings for something extra.
