Jamaican Boiled Dumplings

Ingredients

For 4 servings

Steps

  1. Step 1:

    In a large pot, bring the water and salt to a boil.

  2. Step 2:

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt, stirring to distribute the salt evenly throughout the flour.

  3. Step 3:

    Gradually add the water to the flour mixture, mixing with your hands until a dough forms.

  4. Step 4:

    Divide the dough into equal-sized pieces and roll each piece into a smooth ball.

  5. Step 5:

    Flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand to form a round, circular dumpling that looks like a thick disk.

  6. Step 6:

    Carefully drop the dumplings into the boiling water one at a time, ensuring that they do not stick together.

  7. Step 7:

    Use a wooden spoon to stir the dumplings in the water.

  8. Step 8:

    Boil the dumplings for 15–20 minutes, or until cooked through and risen to the surface. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
