Coconut oil provides a tropical flavor and is dairy-free.

Mix 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon and 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt in a mixing bowl.

Add 1 tablespoon of butter and mix it in with a spoon.

Gradually add 1 cup of water while mixing until the dough reaches the desired consistency, ensuring it is not too soft or too hard.

Cover the bowl with a wet paper towel and let it rest for 5 minutes to help the dumpling rise when frying.

After 5 minutes, take the dough and divide it into small balls.

Flatten each ball slightly, turning it like a cartwheel and pressing in the middle with a fork.

Heat avocado oil in a deep skillet over medium heat until hot.

Fry the dumplings in batches, turning occasionally, until they are crispy and golden brown.

Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Serve warm and enjoy.
