👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt. Stir to evenly distribute.

   💡 Tip: Ensure all dry ingredients are well combined before adding wet ingredients.
2. 2

   Add the butter to the flour mixture and rub it in with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

   💡 Tip: Work quickly to prevent the butter from melting too much.
3. 3

   Stir in the freshly grated coconut.

   💡 Tip: Freshly grated coconut provides the best flavor and texture.
4. 4

   Gradually add water, mixing until a firm dough forms. It should be slightly sticky but manageable.

   💡 Tip: Add water a little at a time to avoid making the dough too wet.
5. 5

   Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 1-2 minutes until smooth.

6. 6

   Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a rolling boil.

   💡 Tip: The water should be well-salted to ensure the dumplings are flavorful.
7. 7

   Pinch off pieces of dough, roll them into balls about 1.5 inches in diameter, and flatten them slightly.

   💡 Tip: Uniform size ensures even cooking.
8. 8

   Carefully drop the dumplings into the boiling water. Do not overcrowd the pot; cook in batches if necessary.

   💡 Tip: Ensure the water is rapidly boiling before adding the dumplings.
9. 9

   Boil the dumplings for about 10-15 minutes, or until they float to the surface and are cooked through.

   💡 Tip: Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
10. 10

    Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon and drain.

    💡 Tip: Serve immediately.
