Welcome to Jamaican Air Fryer series — where we test Jamaican classics in the air fryer and see how they come out. 

Today we’re making fried … dumplings.

Normally dumplings get fried in oil, but today we’re trying them in the air fryer to see if we can still get that golden outside and soft inside.

  • 250g self raising flour 
  • 1 tbsp. Brown sugar 
  • 1/2 tsp salt 
  • 1 tbsp. Unsalted melted butter 
  • 1 tsp. Vegetable oil 
  • 125ml water
  • Vegetable oil spray for air fryer 

1.In a large bowl, add the self-raising flour, sugar and salt and mix together.

2.Pour in the melted butter and vegetable oil, then rub lightly into the flour.

3.Gradually add the water and mix until a soft dough forms. Knead gently for 1–2 minutes until smooth.

4.Divide the dough into 6-8 equal pieces and roll each into a small oval dumpling shape.

5.Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil and place the dumplings inside, leaving space between each one.

6.Air fry at 190°C for 12–15 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown on the outside and cooked through.

7.Remove from the air fryer and allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving.
