Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
• 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
• 3/4 cup water (approximately)
• Oil for frying

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar (if using). Mix well to ensure that the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
2. Add the butter or margarine to the dry ingredients and use your fingertips to rub it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Gradually add the water to the flour mixture, stirring with a fork or wooden spoon until a soft dough forms. You may need slightly more or less water depending on the humidity in your kitchen.
4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently for a few minutes until smooth and elastic. Avoid over-kneading, as this can make the dumplings tough.
5. Divide the dough into small balls, about the size of a golf ball. Use your hands to roll each ball into a smooth, round shape.
6. Heat oil in a deep frying pan or skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the dumplings in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
7. Fry the dumplings for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Use a slotted spoon to remove the dumplings from the oil and drain them on paper towels.
8. Serve the fry dumplings hot, alongside your favorite Caribbean dishes or with a drizzle of honey for a sweet treat. Enjoy!
