Fry Dumplings with Bully Beef or Saltfish

Instructions

Walnut Crust Instructions

1. Step
   In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and salt.
2. Step
   Rub in the butter until it is in pieces no larger than peas. Mix in water and milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, just until the mixture is wet enough to form into a ball. The dough should be a firm consistency. Knead briefly.
3. Step
   Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat until hot. Break off pieces of the dough and shape into a patty—kind of like a flat biscuit.
4. Step
   Place just enough of the dumplings in the pan so they are not crowded. Fry on each side until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.
5. Step
   Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels before serving.

   ‘Pick up’ (break into small portions and remove any bones) the saltfish and add to frying pan with all your seasonings, and cook for 2-3 minutes.
