Cut cold butter into tiny pieces and rub into the flour until flaky.

Make a well in the center of the mixture and gradually add cold water, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Let the dough rest covered with a damp cloth for at least an hour.

Divide the dough into small pieces and roll into balls.

Press the center of each dumpling to help oil penetrate during frying.

Heat a non-stick pan over low to medium heat for shallow frying.

Fry each dumpling for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown, flipping as necessary.
