Dumplings recipe

Ingredients

 3 cups flour
 2 teaspoons baking powder
 1 teaspoon salt
 1/2 cup butter
 1/2 cup milk
 Oil for frying

Preparation

 Sieve the flour in to a bowl, stir in the salt and baking powder










 Cut the butter in to small lumps and add to the mixture










 Work the mixture in to a breadcrumb-like texture










 Add the milk a little bit at a time and work in to the mixture (if it is added too quickly the mixture may not bind properly)
 Knead the mixture until it is smooth








 Divide the mixture in to small balls about 5cm in diameter then flatten the balls so they are about 2cm thick. The dumplings are now ready to be either boiled or fried.

 Fry until golden brown (this should take about five minutes)










 Place on a paper towel to absorb the excess oil










 Serve
