About Cornmeal Dumplings
Renee Robley’s cornmeal dumplings are a Caribbean boiled side dish with a lightly sweet corn flavour. Cornmeal, wheat flour, brown sugar and salt form the simple dough.
The pieces are shaped into thick logs with flattened centres, one of the forms described for these dumplings. Boiling gives them a firm, softly chewy texture.
Her plain serving option adds butter to the drained dumplings. The butter enriches the mild corn flavour, while the dumplings retain the substantial bite associated with this Caribbean preparation.
