Combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt in a mixing bowl.

Mix the dry ingredients together.

Knead the dough for about 2-3 minutes until it forms a smooth ball, tucking and rotating it in a clockwise motion.

Indent the middle of the dough to help it rise faster and create a dome shape.

Heat vegetable oil in a cast iron skillet until it has moderate bubbling for frying.

Shape the dough into balls or discs, optionally stuffing them with cheddar cheese or other fillings.

Fry the dumplings in the oil, watching for a nice slow browning, adjusting the heat as necessary.

Remove the dumplings from the oil once they are crispy and golden brown.
