Golden Southern-style dumplings, a must-try savory delight.
Ingredients:
  • 120g (2/3 cup) polenta (cornmeal)
  • 50g (1/3 cup) plain flour
  • 10.00 gm cornflour
  • 4.00 gm baking powder
  • 1.20 gm salt
  • 2 green shallots, ends trimmed, finely chopped
  • 1 egg, lightly whisked
  • 80ml (1/3 cup) buttermilk
  • Vegetable oil, to deep-fry
Instructions:
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the polenta, flour, cornflour, baking powder, salt, and shallot. Stir in the egg and buttermilk until well combined.
  • In a medium saucepan, pour enough oil to reach a 6cm depth. Heat to 190°C (oil is ready when a bread cube turns golden brown in 10 seconds). Gently drop 4 dessert-spoonfuls of dough into the oil. Fry, turning occasionally, for 4-5 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towel-lined plate. Reheat oil, fry remaining dough. Serve hot or at room temperature.
