Also known as domplin or domplines these are the Dominican version of the flour, salt and water dumplings found throughout the Caribbean.
Ingredients:
180g of plain (all purpose) flour (Or a combination of: 120g of wheat flour and 40g of cornmeal)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
180ml of water
Method:
Blend together the flour, salt and baking powder in a bowl. Add the water a little at a time and blend into the flour to form a dough. This dough should be very firm; not sticky or too soft. You may need to add additional spoonfuls of flour or water if needed to attain the correct consistency.
The dough is ready when the mixture forms a ball and the sides of the bowl are clean. Let the dough rest for about 5 minutes, covered with a damp cloth, then divide into 8 pieces. Shape these into little balls or sausage shapes (depending on preference).
Bring 2l water to a boil in a large pan. Add 2 tsp salt, 1 finely-grated garlic clove and 1 tsp oil. Drop the dumplings carefully into the boiling water and after a few minutes they will float to the top. Stir them around and push them down a few times to make sure all sides are cooked. They should be fully done in 10 to 12 minutes.
