Equipment

Ingredients
  

Flour Mixture

Egg Mixture

  • 3/4 cup cold water
  • 1 egg

For Frying Pan

  • 2 tbsp cooking oil

Dumpling Topping

Instructions
 

Flour Mixture

  • Put flour in a medium-sized bowl.
  • Add the baking powder, salt, and sugar to the flour. Mix.

Egg Mixture

  • In a different bowl, beat the egg.
  • Add the water to the beaten egg. Stir.

Egg and Flour Mixture

  • Slowly add the egg mixture with the flour mixture, forming a ball of dough.

Preparing the Dumplings

  • Put some flour on the countertop or cutting board.
  • Put the dough on the flour. Sprinkle a little flour on the dough.
  • Form the dough into an oblong shape.
  • Separate the dough into 4 sections. Roll the dumpling dough into long tube-like shapes.
  • Cut the tube-like shapes into noodles, each a couple of inches long.

Boiling the Dumplings

  • Put water in a large pot, about 3/4 full. Bring to a boil.
  • Add the dumplings to the boiling water. Keep stirring as you drop each dumpling in the water.
  • After all the dumplings are in the pot, stir, reduce the heat to medium, then cover with a lid. Cook for 4 minutes. Check to make sure the water doesn't boil out from under the lid.
  • After 4 minutes, put the cooked dumplings in a colander and run cold water on them.

The Frying Pan

  • Add the cooking oil to the frying pan. Turn the burner to high heat. Wait for the frying pan to get hot (just a couple of minutes).
  • Put the cooked dumplings into the hot cooking oil. Turn the heat to medium-high.
  • Brown the dumplings for about 5 minutes, or until crispy looking.

Notes

  • Fried dumplings with syrup can be served for breakfast or lunch.
  • Usually about 3 or 4 dumplings per person.
  • These dumplings can be eaten without maple syrup or sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon.
