butter

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

Incorporate all dry ingredients into the flour and mix well.

Add cubed cold butter to the flour and rub it in until it resembles fine bread crumbs.

Gradually add cold water into the flour mixture until a dough forms, kneading until slightly sticky.

Cover the dough with a damp paper towel and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each into a golf ball, then flatten into a disc shape.

For shallow frying, heat 1.5 cups of vegetable oil over medium-low heat.

Drop a piece of dough into the oil to check if it bubbles slowly, indicating the oil is ready.

Fry the dumplings for about 5 minutes per side, adjusting the heat as necessary, until golden brown.

For deep frying, heat the same amount of oil and drop in the dumplings, ensuring they float to the top as they cook.

Fry for about 10 minutes, rotating them occasionally, until golden brown.
