Mix the dry ingredients together until well combined.

Add about 1 cup of cold 2% milk gradually, mixing until a soft dough forms; adjust milk as needed.

Let the dough rest for about 15 minutes while the oil heats up.

Pinch off pieces of dough to form balls, rolling them in your hands to shape.

Optionally, roll some pieces into long strings and tie them into knots.

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

Fry the dumplings in batches, watching for them to float to the top as they cook.

After about 2 minutes, flip the dumplings over to ensure even cooking.

Continue frying for about 5 minutes total, until golden brown.

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