FLOUR DUMPLINGS (SINKERS/SPINNERS)



Flour Dumplings (Sinkers/Spinners) image

There are many varieties of dumplings; the flour dumpling is the most popular in the Caribbean and the simplest to make. In Bermuda, most people call these sinkers because they don't rise to the top. I usually add a little sugar and sometimes parsley, but this is how a friend of mine does hers.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings (20 dumplings)

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 tablespoons salted butter
3 sprigs thyme, leaves removed
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 large onion, sliced thinly
Kosher salt
1 cup leftover mashed potatoes
1/2 cup shredded white Cheddar
1/4 cup sour cream
20 wonton wrappers
1/2 cup white wine
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the thyme, garlic and onion. Cook, stirring, until the onions are golden, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil.
  • Add the potatoes, cheese and sour cream to a small bowl and mix, then set aside.
  • Working one at a time, lay out a wonton wrapper and use your finger to dampen the edge of the wrapper with water. Place 1 tablespoon of the potato mix in the center of the wrapper.

POTATO DUMPLINGS



Potato Dumplings image

The dumplings turn out even better if the potatoes are cooked, riced, and refrigerated, uncovered, a day ahead. If you have the space, since you are already making the sauerbraten a day ahead, cook and rice the potatoes then, too -- the dumplings will be even fluffier!

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dinner Recipes

Time 1h30m

Yield Makes 15

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/4 pounds small russet potatoes (about 6), scrubbed
Coarse salt
4 1/2-inch-thick slices white bread, crusts removed
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons potato starch or cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 large eggs, beaten

Steps:

  • Cover potatoes by 2 inches of water in a large saucepan; add 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until tender and the tip of a knife pierces potatoes easily, 30 to 45 minutes. Drain. When cool enough to handle, peel and pass potatoes through the fine holes of a ricer. Spread out on a rimmed baking sheet; let cool completely. Potatoes can be refrigerated, uncovered, up to 1 day ahead.
  • Meanwhile, cut bread into 1/2-inch cubes. Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add bread and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides, about 4 minutes. Season with salt.
  • Add nutmeg, flour, potato starch, 1 tablespoon salt, and pepper to riced potatoes. Toss to combine. Add eggs and stir with your hands until mixture comes together. Knead about 6 times to form a dough.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Scoop 1/4 cup dough, make an indentation in the center, and place 2 croutons in it. Form dough into a ball, enclosing croutons. Repeat with remaining dough. Reserve extra croutons.
  • Working in batches, carefully drop dumplings into boiling water. (Do not crowd pot.) When dumplings float, partially cover and cook, turning occasionally, 15 minutes more. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet, cover with foil, and keep warm in oven. Repeat with remaining dumplings. Serve warm, with reserved croutons.
