Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • ½ cup butter cut into cubes and softened
  • ½ cup cold water
  • 1 cup vegetable oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Gather all ingredients.
  • Mix flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl.
  • Rub in butter until the mixture is crumbly.
  • Mix in water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to form a firm dough; knead briefly.
  • Heat oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Break off pieces of dough and shape them into biscuit-like patties.
  • Place just enough of the dumplings into the hot oil so they are not crowded; fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.
  • Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels before serving.
