Jamaican Boiled Dumplings
Jamaican boiled dumplings are simple, pillowy rounds of dough that deliver a delicate chew and a subtle saltiness, making them the perfect vessel for soaking up rich sauces. Made with just flour, salt, and water, the dough comes together effortlessly, yielding a tender yet sturdy texture that holds its shape in simmering water. Their understated flavor lets them play a supporting role in any meal, whether alongside jerk chicken or a hearty stew. Worth making for their versatility alone, these dumplings bring a taste of the Caribbean to the table with minimal effort.

Divide the dough into equal-sized pieces, rolling each into a smooth ball. Flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand to form a round, circular dumpling. It should look like a thick disk.
