Equipment

  • Karibe Knives Set
  • Karibe Utensil Set

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Cups Flour
  • 1 tbsp Baking Powder
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • 2 tbsp Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Essence
  • ⅓ Cup Water
  • Oil for Frying

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, sift in the flour, salt & baking powder.
  • Add the sugar and mix well with your KARIBE whisk.
  • Pour in some essence, followed by water at regular intervals to form a dough. Do not make the dough too wet but make it soft.
  • Keep kneading the dough to render it softer and smoother.
  • Leave it to rest for a minimum of 1hr, overnight is best!
  • Divide into 8 small pieces and make dough balls out of it.
  • Heat some oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
  • Once the oil is hot enough to fry, put these dumplings in the oil and fry them. Ensure the heat is lowered to allow the dumplings to cook through.
  • With your KARIBE slotted spoon, flip them over to fry from both the sides.
  • Take them out of the oils once done and put on paper towels to drain any excess
    oil.
  • The dumplings should look golden once done. Crunchy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside
  • Allow to cool and serve as desired.

Notes

Tips
  • Dough will be soft after needing but once rested, hardens a bit.
  • You can replace water with milk.
  • The essence is an idea, feel free to leave it out.
  • Be sure to check the temperature of the oil as too hot oil will not allow the dumplings to cook evenly.
