Notes
- When making the dough, start by crumbling the flour and making sure it comes together when making a fist; finally, make a semi-stiff dough.
- Use milk or water on the sides of the dough so when you shape the dumpling by pinching the corners, they easily stick together and hold well, You do not want the filling to pop out when you deep -fry it.
- Deep-fry on low to medium flame, as high-flame will cook the outer covering, leaving the inner part uncooked.
