Jamaican Dumplings with Plantains

1. 1

   Add the flour, salt and baking powder to a food processor and pulse to combine.

2. 2

   Toss in the cold butter cubes and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse bread crumbs.

3. 3

   Add milk, a little bit at a time until it is completely worked into the dough.

4. 4

   Once it comes together into a nice consistent ball and pulls away from the sides of the food processor, divide the dough into about 12 little balls.

5. 5

   Push a slice of plantain into the middle of each ball and pinch the dough around the plantain so it is completely covered by the dough.

6. 6

   Press each ball flat into a little cake, cover with a damp kitchen towel and allow to rest for 20 to 30 minutes before frying.

7. 7

   Set a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add 1/4 cup of vegetable oil.

8. 8

   Prick the dumplings all over with a fork.

9. 9

   Working in batches, pan-fry dumplings until golden and slightly puffy, about 3 to 5 minutes per side.

    Season with salt and serve warm.
