In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, cornmeal, and a small amount of salt.

Mix the dry ingredients together until evenly distributed.

Gradually add cold water to the mixture, a small amount at a time, until the dough comes together nicely.

If the dough is too soft, allow it to rest and sprinkle some loose flour over it to help it come together.

Cover the dough with a damp paper towel and let it rest for about 15 minutes.

After resting, pull the dough apart into smaller pieces for shaping.

Shape each piece of dough into a desired form, such as tying it in a knot or rolling it out.

Heat vegetable oil in a frying pot over medium heat until hot.

Carefully place the shaped dough into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on one side, then flip to fry the other side until golden brown as well.

Once finished frying, place the dumplings on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
