Method

Prep 17 min · Cook 55 min

1Heat a heavy bottom pot of oil that has at least 3 inches of oil in it or use a deep fryer if you have one. Turn the heat over medium heat until the temperature reaches 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2Add the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt to a large bowl and stir to combine.
3Add the vanilla extract and milk and stir until the dough comes together. Then use your hands to lightly form the mixture into a ball.
4Pinch off pieces of dough and roll them into long oval shapes. Make about 12 dumplings.
5Once the oil has reached the temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit, fry the dough on all sides, until golden brown. This should take about 4-6 minutes.
6Remove dough and drain off any excess grease. Serve and enjoy.
