Ingredients
Festival
- 250 g AP Flour
- 50 g granulated sugar
- 30 g cornmeal
- 1 tbsp. baking powder
- ½ tsp. sea salt
- ½ tsp. nutmeg
- ¼ cup milk cold, any type
- ¼ cup cold water
For Frying
- 6 cups canola oil vegetable oil also works
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, add all your dry ingredients: flour, cornmeal, sugar, nutmeg, salt, baking powder. Mix everything well.
- After, add your cold water and milk. Knead well. Try to knead into a smooth ball.
- Cover dough and place in fridge or freezer while preparing the oil.
- Heat up your oil in a skillet or fryer to medium heat. Festival doesn't require a lot of oil, just enough to dunk dumpling to cook through.
- Remove dumpling from fridge or freeze, and with your hand, peel a batch of dough, and roll with your hands to form a log, about ¾ thick, or about 5" long.
- Place dough in oil and continue until complete.
- Fry until golden brown all around, than remove and place on cooling rack or napkin to drain and cool.
- Enjoy!
