Jamaican Fried Dumplings

1. Gather all ingredients.

   

2. Mix flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl.

   

3. Rub in butter until the mixture is crumbly.

   

4. Mix in water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to form a firm dough; knead briefly.

   

5. Heat oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Break off pieces of dough and shape them into biscuit-like patties.

   

6. Place just enough of the dumplings into the hot oil so they are not crowded; fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.

   

7. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels before serving.
