Jamaican Dumplings Video Recipe

[mrsmac11u]

Nice house gyal

[lynhayes1]

Most people simply use flour salt and water to boil dumplings. But everybody have their own style. Just try Tracy's recipe. You might like it!

[iamcuzzo]

I was trying to keep my eyes on the dumplins, but I kept looking at your dumplins

[sweetalicious2008]

Tracy yuh so pretty.. Remind me of my sister.. Everybody has their own technique and this is yours and it looks just as good! I usually use.. Flour, salt & a little cornmeal with water to knead it.. For frying I usually use the way you have shown in this video :)

[Justanotherhuman2]

Tracy you are overworking the dough.. Overworked dough will make the dumplings hard like hockey pucks!! Or heck hard like cricket balls.

[DrunkenDebauchery101]

most people just here to learn

[DrunkenDebauchery101]

Don't get mad when it's not the same u do it. My girl don't boil them either but she still sexy lol

[dweem2009able]

Great food when you have no money

[xcarl2]

shes a good cook and good looking too!!, i want a girl like her to be my wife :)

[anamneses28]

Excellent video. You do the very well. Thanks so much for posting authentic recipes! :)

[shaniq12]

A wen since yuh put milk and butter in a dumpling???

[haroldjr9]

Gal yuh nuh know how fi cook........naw wooo. Boil dumplings with butta and baking powder...nonsense!!!!!

[toppmax]

never seen demplin boiled with baking powder and butter, with those ingredients u fry them. i grew up in jamaica and i learn how to cook there. very strange

[tag1989]

why the hell did she boil them?? making it look harder than it is. all this should take 2 minutes

[LannieX]

I got interested on Caribbean dumplings when I ate a meal of theirs in a restaurant. It's actually easy to cook and I already cooked the boiled version. Now i want to try to fried version. So, the only difference in boiled and fried is that the fried has baking powder in it, right? Well, she had baking powder for the boiled but that's because she's cooking both boiled and fried, and fried required the baking powder while the boiled don't care if it has or not, isn't it right?

[callhertashamac]

The type of fried dumplims i was looking for are round shaped not flattened so this was no help at all

[yardman68]

this is not the correct way to cook dumpling!!! its wrong

[sharna1987]

dumplin with milk wow is that a new way to make it

[geminiwindsor]

Uhm, what happened to just making the dough and frying it? Why are the dumplins boiled and then fried?

[geminiwindsor]

@geminiwindsor NVM, looks like I skipped the part where she finished the boiled dumplins and switched over to cooking the fried.

[sweetappletits]

why is it that when u guys fry ur dumplings the insides don't cook.... *______*

[andremp03]

@sweetappletits They do. You must be doing something wrong.

[sweetappletits]

@andremp03 not me! i wudnt b caught dead in the kitchen tryin to fry anything carribean. i dnt av a clue. i bought it from a restuarant "carribean"/ french or whatevr they called themselves. i ad to bin the dumplings the insides was doughyand raw bt i tasted a better one today. now i cn diffrentiate the bad chefs to the good one!

[andremp03]

@sweetappletits Oh dear, bleurgh the careless cooks! lol

[duffcola0622]

I'm sorry, did my girl bowl dumplin wid all dat inna it?.OMG! Those r some heavy bowl dumplin, all I know is flour, salt and water, and it's fantastic to me

[21jamaicanboi]

o wow i only use flour, water, yeast, and a dash of salt...... I neva knew milk could go in dumplin

[JoJoKitty1]

i was confused by the baking powder?? lol but i like her other cookings videos!

[centralvillage911]

i wouldn't put baking soda in boiled dumpling unless im crazy,baking soda in flour is for BAKING or FRYING.real jamaicans dont eat dat.a good boiled dumpling is to be firm but not too hard cause it can do damage to ur ass lol,but i guess everybody add and subtract but i prefer the original way FLOUR,SALT AND BOILING WATER

[PArokee]

THE AVERAGE PERSON DOES NOT USE BAKING POWDER IN BOILED DUMPLINGS!

[doghartdon]

nuff respect!

[iiiiixxxx]

I like mine with cornmeal in it!! Taste better than just eating flour.

[cocopoems]

@iiiiixxxx my father cooks his with cornmeal sometimes too. It tastes great!

[Goodiez83]

my dad is jamician and I use to love this when I was younger

[keogh001]

Gal ah cook, sum gud food!

[PrettyJae2]

Mine came out like biscuits...i found out that i had to knead the dough ugh

[realfam1969]

i noticed that ur microwave is riiight next to the pilot! and the wires as well.. thats very very dangerous..please move it! =)

[876dionne]

1/2 cup butta 1/2 cup milk da prt is funny

[daniel27121993]

mine taste like pan cakes :/

[876dionne]

@daniel27121993 too much sugar n butter i thnk

[msg360]

thanks you so much, i was looking for a video like this thanks

[luciano9009]

I'll like to try some of those dumplings.

[beyondgreat]

Is is ok to replace the butter and milk with coconut milk

[mikeygeneral]

Baking powder inna bwile dumplin?

[JOVAN10472]

y is there no measurements?

[DorothyDandridge]

Tracy, you need to explain that you are making two different kinds of dumplin: 1. boil dumplin and 2. fry dumplin. I don't understand why you used the same ingredients for the fry and boil dumplin. As a Jamaican I have never heard of anyone who put baking power in the mix to make boil dumplin. Only the fry dumplin requires baking power and butter. You can substitute the milk with water as well. Butter is also not necessary, especially if you are going to put butter on it when it is done.

[sharna1987]

@DorothyDandridge im with you on that one

[MzzMona]

@DorothyDandridge .... I gagged when I forgot the baking powder, but essentially i think my granny only used the baking powder only when she fried her dumplins as well.

[fallenemo29]

umm nice recipe i love dumplings but never use milk I guess i must try

[centralina73]

Is all good. The only word that I have for her is Food Processor!!!

[madg00se]

Tracey, which idiot fitted the electrical sockets behind the hob? That microwave power cable is an accident waiting to happen!

[brandi006]

STFU

[kissiq]

what is thats spose to mean?

ha! look like badmind is active

[kissiq]

why the hell she a twang?

Hadd? my god. hear the accident nuh

[Ermac1212]

I make dumplings all the time and have never used butter or milk.....those are biscuits not dumplings

[damianlifestyletv]

yow hear this alla you ppl with this bad vibe coking in Jamaica is a trial and error thin so add any amount of anything you want the thing is the end results, anyway my girl I like the video but it look like a some up town thing u deh pon,

[agentgooner007]

l agree but only once you have the basics which white English people like me need at first l'm long in the tooth at it now and my cuury goat can go toe to toe with anyone (l'm the specalist now lol) lm making pepperpot stew and dumpling right now and my dumpling has just flour, salt and water so like you say its about your own thing (after a while).

[lalavargo]

Its nice to see alternative ideas on how to cook food but personally i think when it comes to authentic Jamaican food its best to stick to the traditional way, half the time when growing up those extra ingredients i.e. butter, milk were not an essential part of the recipe. It came out just as nice with just the water, floor and salt. I love my culture, & think its important to make sure that the recipes stay the same and don't get lost in all this new age fancy cooking stuff, just my opinion

[kissiq]

you grandmother goodly cook it dif from my granny. families add what they want that is why people food take different. There is no AUTHENTIC way of cooking the thing, there is just the essential ingredients and the options. this girl basically dint mention the Options thats all. Tradition will not be lost cause when mi a run boat and mi nuh have milk its raw white flour, salt and so so water make my dumpling. straight!

[lalavargo]

Its all a matter of opinion as i said and yours has been noted

[sjohnson5663]

I'm not complaining I would just like to know the amount of flour, butter, salt, and baking powder. She tells u the ingredients but not the amount cup teaspoon etc.

[ladymuffinman]

isnt this just fried bakes or do jamacians call it sumthing different im grenedian

[kissiq]

no we don't call them bakes (we really don't call anything bakes)

we call it fry dumpling and boil dumpling.

[BlindMind4a]

lol

[imples87]

When your about to fry the dumplings, how much oil do you have to use in the pan? And do you have to turn them at all while there in the oil?

[teflondaprince]

people luv criticize inh.. if unu know how fi mek dumplins den y unu ah search pon youtube? Pick up deh camera, press record an show de people nuh..

[refleccion]

I really want to make my first dumplings! I am half jamaican and I am a disgrace to my culture, LOL. I want to make them the traditional way, no butter etc. but would I use the same amount of flour and just sub water for milk? I'm clueless... any recipes?

[srcamp]

ah rich ppl dumpling dis lol... butter and milk????....how about just soso flour and water

[jbeckford]

Same ting mi a sey massa... Mi put flour, water, salt, baking powder, and sugar inna fi mi. An mi nu measure nutn.

[GracefulTigress]

i luvvv her accent

[Candie66Brown]

I make the fried dumplins for breakfast only , lik to soak up the ackee with them .Most time i cook boiled dumplins with curry chicken,oxtail n roast fish.Either way , both are good .But mine are alot bigger :)

[Bevrellie]

How do you get the dough to be hard in the middle? My dumplings look good on the outside when I boil them but not so good on the inside when I bite into them. They should be a little thick in the middle when boiled right?

[Dorje8l8l]

I'm not used to them with milk and butter. Who is familiar with both styles? Which is better?

[cafelattemocha]

Dorje, Both is good...but depends what you are having it with.

With ackee and saltfish, curry and stew-I just do the plain with flour, water, salt and baking powder..and boil. you can still fry this too...I find it more dense.

If I feel for fry dunpliing - I do add some make and butter-but for festival, I will add a bit of sugar in the mix..

I hope it helps.

[fishandfestival]

I don't use milk or butter in my johnny cakes...I use flour, baking powder, salt and water.

[tashayec]

lol @ we eat cart wheels, not dem likkle sinting deh lmfao!! u people are hilarious

[ironchopsticks]

can you serve this with a sweet chutney and a heart attack?

[neshanr]

yummmmmmmmmmmmm fried dumplins!!! I just est them alone!!! sometimes I would eat them with curry chicken and rice and peas!! yummt

[pUraVidaNY87]

wOW u guys r too much wit these comments lol

[MissPickletoes]

OK....If you fry them, are the fried ones pre boiled, or just the raw dough?

[tastykeke]

I don't mek boil dumpling like that

Just plain flour, a likkle cornmeal and salt mi use

[jbeckford]

Dat mi a sey. mi nu put bakin powda inna it unless mi a fry it.

[HoboAkuma]

dont they tast so much better when it is proper overnight dumlping ... you know after it soaks up the flavour of the soup instead of just boiling and str8 to the fry pan ??

[KEYBEATZ]

Mackrel! Yuck!

[onesqr]

And by the way, you know that if you were cooking for people on a construction site dem little sinting deh wouldn't cut it. cart wheel dumpling we eat, you zeen.

[brianmaxw]

For frying the Dumpling that above reciepe would work but if your making soup make your dumplings with only water and flour! :)

[kaymajorr]

thanks for this vid im going to try it : )

[shaylovegirl]

dnt try it...do this recipe for the dumplins to be fried...make sure u make the dough rest for a few mins

[funkg]

i don't understand all this milk and butter stuff, is it an americanism?

[jrmetmoi]

Yes.

[darkbyte2005]

Thanks Tracy, I wondering what the ingredients were and added bonus you should us how is best done

[cherishluv]

do you use the same ingredients to make fried dumplings, too?

[browningbbw]

Well this is a first for me and I know everyone has their own recipe but I've never seen dumplings made so. At first I thought she's just making bakes, but then she boiled the first batch!

I must ask some other Jamaicans if they make boiled dumpling with butter and milk added. Maybe its just a new way of doing things.

Sometimes we need to keep with the old authentic ways. Just my opinion.

[jrmetmoi]

No boiled dumplings just need flour, water and salt. All that milk and butter in a dumpling would NOT taste good in a soup, think about it!

[browningbbw]

I DID think about it - hence my confusion!

[jrmetmoi]

Yeah like a comment someone else made earlier on this, this chick's recipe for dumplings does sound like American biscuits for breakfast, just like the ones from McDonalds.

This is Bisquick if anything LOL

[sycjoe]

My family didn't use the milk and butter either. :)

[9876777]

For the fry dumpling, did she use the boiled dumpling or used the mixed batter ? It's a bit confusing.

[oneshot2g]

she used the batter

[DJ417]

This mus b sum next way ..where did the adding of the milk come from ..but den again every ones got there own thing

[54spiritedwill54]

that looks great !! :) i am going to try it !

[dubfoundry]

lol i thought she was making fried dumplins...ha haaa what kind of cook duymplin wid milk a wadi watsitnot she must come from uptown...

[hini12002]

my mum calls them bakes

[bigsoxx]

yeast makes bread rise you morons..almost twice the original size..there are plenty types of breads that dont have yeast..you dont NEED yeast if you dont want it to rise, and vise versa, bread doesnt need yeast...

[dreamgirl1885]

I guess this her recipe, because that's not how you make Jamaican dumplings traditionally.

[sexysallay]

how do you cook hot prawn soup.

[MishKapeesh]

i dont make them with butter, or baking powder

[LadyD12345]

No offense but those dumplins look mad hard and u could hear how hard it is once you place it on the plate, i think they would brake my jaw fo real

[starcharm]

rotfl...

sorry hahaha...she would, but its funny that u say that.

no offense. its just funny

[nospam2012]

sorry i mean this is NOT how my Jamaican parents did their boiled dumplings or fried ones.

[nospam2012]

i'm confused the boiled ones did she fry these ones after wards or is it just another batch.

this is now how my jamacan parents did their boiled dumplings or fried ones

i know that west indians have different recipes for dumplings and other foods.

[shaylovegirl]

she missed an integral part you should let it stand and rise on its own b4 frying it

[MishKapeesh]

not that i dont agree...... but how on earth does something rise without yeast

[shaylovegirl]

there are different raising agents used in cooking. lik as u said yeast,baking powder and baking soda so we do use baking powder in our fried dumplings not boiled dumpling

[jbeckford]

mi neva hear bout da one ya, but heat the oil first and then turn down the fire and you get better results...

[1uhot4]

i tryed to make these and the was so damn hard u can use them as baseballs!

[noob995]

lol she messed up the recipe they are suppose to be some what crunchy on the outside and soft and light in the inside.

[Afrocentrickqueen]

Dem deh too big weh the hell dem size a go be afta dem fry? My Gosh me tink a fry dumplin you did a attempt fi meck. Baking powder and butter in a boiled dumplin? a you one a go eat that? a who teach you fi cook? your poor husband when you get him. dwl dwl

[JAEsTAR20]

[noob995]

My girl a part a jamaica u come from............nobody in Ja put butter in dumplings when they are boiling it. All u need to add is salt an water.

[Tarastar1983]

She's made "Jonny Cakes" the dumplings that you can eat with baked beans for breakfast for instance. They're nice but i wanted to see how to make the round dumplings that are more soft that you eat with an evening meal. Do you have that recipe please? Thanks

[jrmetmoi]

Just do what she did without butter and without milk.

[jbeckford]

Just flour, salt, and water. make them round like she do but press it in the middle to get that wheel like look to it

[BlindMind4a]

yes thats how u do it

[milovesoul]

a weh she come from certainly not jamaica because when jamaicans boil dumplings, they dont put butter,baking powder or knead it with milk. dem deh pumplin will certainly 'bung up yu ass'! please dont make it!
