Instructions
- 1
Prepare the simple syrup by boiling the sugar and water for 10 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice and let it cool completely in the refrigerator (the syrup must be very cold).
- 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, sugar, yeast, and a pinch of salt.
- 3
Gradually whisk in the warm water until you have a thick, sticky, stretchy batter (similar to a very thick pancake batter). Cover and let it rise for 1 hour until doubled and bubbly.
- 4
Heat the frying oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C). Use your hand to grab a handful of batter, make a fist, and squeeze a small ball of dough out between your thumb and index finger.
- 5
Dip a small spoon in cold oil, scoop the ball of dough, and drop it into the hot oil. Repeat quickly.
- 6
Fry the balls, stirring constantly with a slotted spoon to ensure even coloring, until they are a deep, crunchy golden brown. Immediately transfer the hot dumplings into the cold syrup, toss to coat, and remove.
