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

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.

Rub in the butter until the mixture is crumbly.

Add the chopped scallions and thyme, mixing well.

Gradually pour in the water, stirring until a soft dough forms.

Knead the dough gently on a floured surface until smooth.

Divide the dough into equal portions and shape each into a ball.

Flatten each ball slightly to form discs.

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

Fry the dumplings in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels before serving.
