Add flour to a mixing bowl.

Add salt to taste based on the amount of dumplings being made and mix it in.

Start adding a little bit of water to the flour, mixing it gradually to avoid oversaturation.

Continue adding more water as needed while mixing until a dough-like consistency is achieved.

Knead the dough by pressing it in on itself, rolling and pressing until smooth.

If the dough is too sticky, add more flour to fix the consistency.

Continue kneading until the desired consistency is reached, which can be firmer or softer based on personal preference.

Once the dough is ready, it can be shaped into dumplings or 'spinners' by rolling it between the hands.
