Antiguan Sweet Potato Dumplings are a delightful Caribbean treat, made from sweet potatoes, flour, and aromatic spices. They are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a hint of sweetness and a touch of tropical flavors. You can customize them with grated coconut and raisins for extra indulgence. Perfect as a snack or side dish.
Ingredients: 2 cups grated sweet potatoes. 1 cup all-purpose flour. 1/4 cup brown sugar. 1/4 tsp salt. 1/4 tsp nutmeg. 1/4 tsp cinnamon. 1/4 cup coconut milk. 1/4 cup grated coconut optional. 1/4 cup raisins optional. Vegetable oil for frying.
Instructions: In a mixing bowl, combine the grated sweet potatoes, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Add the coconut milk and mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a little more coconut milk as needed. If desired, fold in the grated coconut and raisins into the dough for added flavor and texture. Divide the dough into small portions and shape them into dumplings. Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place the dumplings into the hot oil and fry until they turn golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally for even cooking. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Remove the dumplings from the oil and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve the Antiguan Sweet Potato Dumplings hot and enjoy!
