Combine 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup cornmeal, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt in a bowl.

Gradually add cold milk to the dry ingredients, mixing with a spoon until combined.

Knead the dough lightly with gloves, adding more milk if necessary, and let it rest for 15 minutes covered with a damp napkin.

Divide the dough into small pieces, rolling and flattening each piece into oval shapes.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat, ensuring it's hot but not too hot to burn the dumplings.

Fry the dumplings, turning them frequently to achieve an even golden color, about 3-5 minutes.

Remove the dumplings from the oil and drain on paper towels.
