Breadfruit flour is used as an alternative to wheat in this boiled cornmeal dumpling recipe.
Ingredients:
Breadfruit flour 2 cups
Cornmeal 1/2 cup
Sea Salt 1 tsp.
Water 2 1/2 cups
Directions:
Combine – Pour the breadfruit flour, cornmeal, and salt into a bowl and mix thoroughly.
Add Water – Add water a little at a time, pulling the flour from the sides of the bowl into the center to form a dough.
Knead the dough for 5-6 minutes.
Rest the Dough – Cover the bowl with a cloth and let the dough rest for 10- 15 minutes so that it gets softer and easier to handle.
Roll – Pull apart dough to the desired size, roll it into a ball and flatten the middle with your thumb.
Heat the Water – Bring water to a boil in a pan and add oil/butter
Cook the Dumplings – Carefully place the dumplings into the boiling water and boil for 20-25 minutes until they start to float.
Remove – Use a long deep spoon or a long fork to remove them from the hot water and place them on a plate.
Serve – Serve hot with your preferred meat or vegetables. Enjoy!
