Domplines/Dumplings

DOMPLINES (Puerto Rican Dumplings)


4 cups of of flour (Can be regular flour or whole wheat)
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons butter room temperature or melted (you can also use lard)
1 cup lukewarm water
1/2 teaspoon salt
OPTIONAL: 1/2 teaspoon sugar
Vegetable oil for frying

Mix the baking powder, flour and salt together. Slowly add in the warm water as you mix it together. I melted the butter and added it in. Knead the dough until its similar to the consistency of pizza dough. If its too dry just add some more water, enough so that everything sticks together and you can get it into a big ball. 
Let the dough rest for a couple minutes if you'd like and then go into separating it. If its sticking to your hands or your surface just dust some flour over it and roll out into a thin circle or half a circle shape. Because you're making them thin you don't need to take so much dough since it will be flattened out. 
Then just fry them in some vegetable oil and soak up the grease afterwards. All you need is to make a plate of beans to accompany it and you're done.

The dough should look something like this (I used whole wheat flour this particular time). It should be pliable enough to be molded into a ball without sticking to the sides of whatever it is in.

The end result plated with some red kidney beans.

The great thing about this recipe is that it is suitable for Vegan's and meat lovers. No animal 


products needed and its quick and simple.
