In a bowl, combine 1 cup flour, 1 tablespoon corn flour, 1 teaspoon instant yeast, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon baking powder.

Gradually add 1 cup warm water to the dry ingredients to form a batter with a consistency similar to pancake batter.

Cover the batter and let it rest for 1 to 3 hours to ferment.

For the syrup, combine 2 cups sugar and 1 cup water in a pot and stir until the sugar dissolves.

Add 1/2 lemon to the syrup to prevent crystallization and cook until it reaches a thread consistency.

Once the batter has fermented and doubled in size, mix it well.

Transfer the batter into a plastic bag for easier shaping of dumplings.

Cut the tip of the bag to create a small opening for piping the batter.

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and dip scissors in oil before cutting the batter into the hot oil to form dumplings.

Fry the dumplings until they are golden brown, stirring continuously to ensure even cooking.

Once cooked, remove the dumplings and dip them into the warm sugar syrup for about 5 to 8 minutes before serving.
