JAMAICAN SPINNERS (DUMPLINGS)

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a small bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add just enough water, one tablespoon at a time, to make a stiff dough. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
• Pinch off about 1/2 ounce of dough and roll it between the palms of your hands to form a softly tapered cylindrical shape. Repeat until all of the dough has been transformed into spinners.
• The spinners can be cooked in a pot of boiling salted water for about 5 to 7 minutes or added to a soup or stew 5 minutes before the dish is due to finish cooking. To test for doneness, cut one open to make sure the dough is fully cooked.
• Serve and enjoy!

FLOUR DUMPLINGS (SINKERS/SPINNERS)

Steps:

• Sift the flour and salt into a bowl and slowly add enough cold water to make a stiff dough.
• (A sticky dough makes a soft pasty dumpling.).
• Knead in the bowl or on a lightly floured board until smooth.
• Break off small pieces about the size of a walnut and roll between your hands. It should be similar to a long tube with pointy ends. They're usually about 3-4 inches long.
• Immerse into salted boiling water and cook for 15-20 minutes.
• Or add to soups and stews and cook for the same period or longer.
