| Festival is a fried cornmeal dumpling shaped into long fingers. It's a traditional accompaniment to 'Jerk' dishes like Honey-Jerk Chicken. | |||||
| Ingredients: | |||||
| 1 cup | yellow cornmeal | ||||
| 1 cup | flour | ||||
| 2 tsp | baking powder | ||||
| 3 tbsp | sugar | ||||
| 1 tsp | salt | ||||
| 1 | egg | ||||
| 1/2 cup | ice water | ||||
| 2 cups | oil for frying (I like peanut oil) | ||||
| Directions: | |||||
| Mix everything together and add only enough ice water to get a soft dough, yet manageable with your hands. Scoop up a couple tablespoons of dough and roll between your palms until as long as your palm and about 1/2 inch wide. Drop into hot oil (about an inch deep) and fry until golden, turn and cook a total of about 1-2 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately. | |||||
