Coconut oil provides a tropical flavor and is dairy-free.

Pour 2.5 cups of self-rising flour into a big bowl.

Add a pinch of salt and 1 teaspoon of sugar to the flour.

Gradually add cold milk or water to the mixture until a dough forms.

Mix until the dough comes together, adding more liquid as necessary.

Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and let the dough rest for 20-30 minutes.

After resting, check the dough; it should feel different and puffed up.

Break off small pieces of dough to form dumplings, making them small.

Roll the dumplings on a working surface until smooth, or shape them in your hands if preferred.

Heat 2.5 cups of vegetable oil in a pot over medium heat until hot but not smoking.

Fry the dumplings in the oil, ensuring they are not too big, for about 7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
