Who doesn’t love delicious fried dumplings? Today, I’m going to share with you my mother’s secret recipe for the best Jamaican fry dumplings. Get ready to enjoy a mouthwatering treat that will leave you craving for more!
Ingredients and Preparation
To create these delectable dumplings, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- Flour
- Baking powder
- Salt
- Butter
- Milk (or water as a substitute)
Take a container and add flour, baking powder, salt, and butter. Mix everything together until it resembles breadcrumbs. Gradually add milk (or water) while folding it into the flour mixture until a soft dough forms. Lightly knead the dough and let it rest for at least 30 minutes to ensure the best texture and flavor.
Cooking the Dumplings
Once the dough has rested, it’s time to cook the dumplings to perfection. Heat a pot and add cooking oil. Reduce the flame to medium heat for even cooking.
Now, the fun part begins! Take a piece of the dough and roll it in your hands. You can either roll it into a round disc shape by folding the middle or simply roll it into a ball and press the middle with the side of your hand to achieve the desired shape.
Carefully place the dumplings into the hot oil and fry them until golden brown. Flip them over after a minute or two to ensure even cooking. Each batch should take approximately five to six minutes to cook thoroughly.
Tips and Variations
If you don’t have milk, you can use water instead. Just remember to add an extra 10 grams of butter and half a teaspoon of baking powder to maintain the perfect consistency and taste.
Enjoy Your Fried Dumplings!
Once cooked, remove the dumplings from the pot and marvel at their beautiful golden brown color. These dumplings are soft on the inside and perfectly crispy on the outside, a true delight for your taste buds.
