1
Prepare the Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.
2
Add Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
3
Knead the Dough
Lightly flour a clean surface and knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
4
Rest the Dough
Cover the dough with a clean cloth and let it rest for about 15-20 minutes.
5
Roll and Cut
After resting, roll the dough out to about 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into small circles, about 3 inches in diameter.
6
Heat the Oil
In a deep pan or fryer, heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
7
Fry the Dumplings
Carefully add the dough circles to the hot oil, frying in batches until they are golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
8
Serve
Serve warm, optionally dusted with powdered sugar or drizzled with honey.
