Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 25 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 50 grams Unsalted butter
• 120 milliliters Whole milk
• 1 Egg
• 100 grams Jam (any flavor)
• 10 grams Powdered sugar (for dusting)
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for cooking)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 2

Cut the unsalted butter into small pieces and rub it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Lightly flour your work surface. Roll out the dough to about 1 cm thickness and cut out circles approximately 7 cm in diameter using a cookie cutter or the rim of a glass.

Step 6

Place about 1 teaspoon of jam in the center of each dough circle. Gently fold the edges together and pinch to seal, forming a dumpling shape.

Step 7

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the dumplings seam-side down in the skillet.

Step 8

Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown, then carefully add 50 milliliters of water to the skillet and cover with a lid. Allow the dumplings to steam for 8-10 minutes until cooked through.

Step 9

Remove the lid and let any remaining liquid evaporate. Flip the dumplings to lightly brown the other side if desired.

Step 10

Transfer the dumplings to a serving plate and dust generously with powdered sugar before serving.
