Add 1/2 teaspoon of allspice to the mixture (optional).

Mix the dry ingredients with clean hands until well combined.

Instead of water, pour in 2 cups of milk gradually, mixing as you go.

Continue adding milk until the dough comes together, using about 4 to 5 cups total.

Knead the dough until it forms a firm consistency.

Let the dough rest for about 30 minutes (or overnight for best results).

After resting, shape the dough into round dumplings, using hands to form them into a circular shape.

Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.

Drop the dumplings into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.

Cover the pot to help the dumplings cook through.

Check the dumplings and turn them to ensure even cooking.

Once golden brown and crispy, remove the dumplings from the oil.
