all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: cornmeal

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

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

Sift together all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a bowl.

Put on gloves to keep hands clean while mixing.

Make a small tunnel in the sifted dry ingredients and add room temperature water gradually.

Add room temperature butter to the mixture.

Knead the mixture together until the bowl is clean and the dough is formed.

Divide the dough into small balls.

Heat oil in a deep fryer or skillet to about 300 degrees Fahrenheit.

Carefully insert the dumplings into the hot oil, ensuring they do not stick together or overcrowd the pot.

Let the dumplings cook, flipping them if necessary, until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes.

Remove the dumplings from the oil and place them on a napkin to drain excess oil.
