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

Sift 2 cups of all-purpose flour into a mixing bowl.

Add 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt to the flour and mix well.

Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the mixture and mix until it resembles a clumpy texture.

Pour in 1 cup of milk and knead until a nice soft dough ball forms.

Cover the dough and allow it to sit for about 30 minutes to 1 hour.

After resting, dust some flour on the surface and roll the dough into smooth round balls.

Heat cooking oil in a pot over medium heat, ensuring it's not too hot to avoid burning the dumplings.

Place the dough balls into the oil one at a time and fry for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.

Rotate the dumplings to ensure all sides are evenly fried and golden.

Remove the dumplings from the oil and allow them to drain excess oil.
