Jamaican Fried Dumplings

Ingredients

• Wheat flour

  White, all-purpose, unenriched

  4 cup or 500g

• Baking powder

  Leavening agents, low-sodium

  2 tsp or 10g

• Salt

  Table

  1 ½ tsp or 9g

• Butter

  Unsalted

  ½ cup or 114g

• Water

  Plain, clean water

  ½ cup or 118g

• Vegetable oil

  Natreon canola, high stability, non trans, high oleic (70%)

  ¼ cup or 56g

Directions

1. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and salt. Rub in the butter until it is in pieces no larger than peas. Mix in water 1 tablespoon at a time just until the mixture is wet enough to form into a ball. The dough should be a firm consistency. Knead briefly.
2. Heat the oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat until hot. Break off pieces of the dough and shape into a patty - kind of like a flat biscuit. Place just enough of the dumplings in the pan so they are not crowded. Fry on each side until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels before serving.
