Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.

Add water gradually until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 5 minutes.

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

In a separate bowl, combine cornmeal, chopped scallions, minced garlic, thyme, and pepper.

Roll the dough into small balls, then flatten each ball into a disc.

Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each disc.

Fold the dough over the filling and seal the edges tightly.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Drop the dumplings into the boiling water and cook until they float, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon and drain well.

Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat.

Fry the dumplings until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
