Jamaican Fried Dumplings

1. Add flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl and stir to combine. Pour in the milk and stir until combined. Then roll the mixture into a ball and lightly knead until it comes together.
2. Break off about 10 pieces of dough and form them into balls. Set them aside.
3. In a 10-inch skillet, heat enough oil over medium heat to fry the dumplings, until the oil is about 350 degrees.
4. Once the dumplings are browned on one side, flip them and cook until both sides are browned, about 2-3 minutes each.
   2–3 minutes
5. Once done, remove the dumplings from the oil and place them on paper towels or a cooling rack to drain off any excess oil.
6. Serve and enjoy.

Cooking notes

Scaling works best when you weigh ingredients rather than measure by volume — small differences in packing can compound at higher multipliers.

For volume-to-weight conversions of any ingredient — flour, sugar, butter, salts — use the ingredient converter. To translate the recipe's oven temperature between °C, °F and gas mark, see the temperature converter.

When you scale this recipe up or down, remember that cooking time does not scale linearly. A doubled cake takes longer, but not twice as long; a doubled soup takes roughly twice as long. The cooking-time guide gives sensible starting estimates by dish geometry.
