INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 1 cup vegetable oil for frying

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and salt. Rub in the butter until it is in pieces no larger than peas. Mix in water 1 tablespoon at a time just until the mixture is wet enough to form into a ball. The dough should be a firm consistency. Knead briefly.
  2. Heat the oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat until hot. Break off pieces of the dough and shape into a patty - kind of like a flat biscuit. Place just enough of the dumplings in the pan so they are not crowded. Fry on each side until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels before serving.

A family staple! You can also be weird and put a fried egg and cheese in the middle. ;) MORE
