A slightly sweet and very moreish fried dumpling from Jamaica, traditionally served with jerk meats.

Ingredients

  • 125 g/1 cup cornmeal
  • 125 g/1 cup

Method

  1. Mix all the dry ingredients together in a bowl.
  2. Add just enough cold water to make a stiff dough. Flour your hands.
  3. Knead it lightly and divide into 12 portions. Roll these into a small log or cigar shape and pinch a few times to flatten slightly.
  4. Pour enough oil into a skillet to reach about 2.5-cm/1-inch deep and put over fairly high heat.
