Jamaican Festival Fry
Jamaican Festival Fry is a delicious and popular fried bread made with cornmeal, flour, sugar, and spices. It's a traditional Jamaican treat that is often enjoyed as a snack or side dish. The dough is shaped into elongated dumplings and then deep-fried until golden brown and crispy on the outside, while still fluffy and tender on the inside. It's commonly served alongside savory dishes like jerk chicken or curry goat, but can also be enjoyed on its own with a drizzle of honey or jam.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup water
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
- Gradually add the water to the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms. Add more water if needed to achieve the right consistency.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into an elongated dumpling shape.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large skillet to 350°F (180°C).
- Carefully place the dumplings into the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
- Fry the dumplings for about 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the fried dumplings from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the Jamaican Festival Fry warm with your favorite dipping sauce, honey, or jam.
- Enjoy!
