Flat fried buttery dough usually served with cod fish in Jamaica, as a big weekend breakfast, slightly different from the American dumplings.
Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- ½ cup butter
- ½ cup cold water
- 1 cup vegetable oil for frying
Instructions

- Heat oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat.
