cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Reduced-fat cheese lowers calories while maintaining flavor.

Welcome to Sister's Kitchen.

Add 4 cups of flour to a mixing bowl.

Add a little dash of salt to the flour.

Add 1 spoonful of butter to the mixture.

Add 2 tablespoons of baking powder to the flour mixture.

Add 2 cups of water slowly, not using all of it at once.

Mix the butter into the flour before adding salt and baking powder.

Knead the dough with fingertips until combined, being careful not to over-knead.

Let the dough rest for 10 to 15 minutes, covered with a towel.

Grate the cheese to prepare for the dumplings.

Cut the cheese into small pieces to put inside the dumplings.

Roll the dough into small balls, placing cheese inside each and sealing them.

Roll the dumplings again to shape them properly.

Heat the oil in the pot on low while the dumplings rest.

Increase the heat to fry the dumplings, ensuring the oil is hot before adding them.

Fry the dumplings in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot.

Fry until golden brown, checking for cheese oozing out.

Remove the dumplings and place them on a plate to drain.

Open one dumpling to show the melted cheese inside.
