½ cup fine cornmeal
6 Tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup milk (a little less or more may be needed, see notes)
Oil for deep frying*

Steps:

  • Heat a heavy bottom pot of oil that has at least 3 inches of oil in it or use a deep fryer if you have one. Turn the heat over medium heat until the temperature reaches 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Add the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt to a large bowl and stir to combine.
  • Add the vanilla extract and milk and stir until the dough comes together. Then use your hands to lightly form the mixture into a ball.
  • Pinch off pieces of dough and roll them into long oval shapes. Make about 12 dumplings.
  • Once the oil has reached the temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit, fry the dough on all sides, until golden brown. This should take about 4-6 minutes.
  • Remove dough and drain off any excess grease. Serve and enjoy.

JAMAICAN FESTIVAL FRIED DUMPLINGS

We had these in Jamaica and they were served with spicy foods (to cool them down). My son wanted them for breakfast since they are slightly sweet. We loved them. I found this recipe at Jamaicans.com and made it with a spicy Jamaican Jerk meatloaf recipe. You tone down the sweetness by cutting down on the sugar.

JAMAICAN FRIED DOUGH FESTIVAL RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Jamaican Fried Dough Festival Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by á-25087

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup cornmeal
1 cup flour, plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
Cold water, enough to make a stiff dough
Oil for frying

Steps:

  • To make this festival recipe, mix the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Add just enough cold water to make a stiff dough. Flour your hands well and knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for just a minute or so. Divide the dough into 12 portions. Roll each portion into a small cigar or sausage shape that's somewhat tapered at the ends. Pour enough oil into a skillet to reach about 1 inch deep. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking. Carefully slide a few of the dumplings into the oil and fry, turning as necessary, until golden brown on each side, adjusting the heat if necessary, about 8 minutes total. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Repeat with the remaining fritters. Eat 'em hot.
