Jamaican Boiled Dumplings

Ingredients

• 2 cups all purpose flour ((I used gluten-free flour))
• 1 cup cold water
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. 1

   Bring about 4 cups of cold water with one teaspoon of salt to boil in a large pot on medium-high heat. Add flour and salt to a large bowl and mix. Slowly add water and mix to form into a firm dough ball. You may need to add extra water, one tablespoon at a time if it is too dry. If the dough is too sticky, slowly add 1 tablespoon of flour.

2. 2

   Note that these measurements are specific to the Krusteaz brand of all-purpose gluten-free flour. The water can be more or less depending on the brand of flour used but the steps are the same using any brand.

3. 3

   Once the dough comes together, knead dough to form a smooth ball. Break off pieces of dough and roll them in between the palms of your hands to form a smooth round ball. Flatten dough ball to form a disc.

4. 4

   You can make spinners or cylindrical dumplings by rolling the dough ball in the palm of your hands in a hand-washing manner.

5. 5

   Carefully drop each dumpling in boiling salt water. Return to a boil and lower heat to simmer for 15-20 minutes. The dumplings should be buoyant. Carefully remove dumplings with a fork or slotted spoon and serve.
