Ingredients

  • 2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup water
  • 8 cup water (for boiling)

Steps

  1. In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water and 1/2 tsp salt to a boil.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine flour and 1 tsp salt. Gradually add 1/2 cup water, mixing with your hands until a dough forms.
  3. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth ball, then flatten slightly into a thick disk shape.
  4. Carefully drop the dumplings into the boiling water, one at a time, stirring gently to prevent sticking.
  5. Boil for 15-20 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through and have risen to the surface. Stir occasionally.
  6. Remove the cooked dumplings with a slotted spoon, allowing excess water to drain.
  7. Serve hot with your favorite Jamaican dishes.
