Tite Dumplin

[Pepper]

What is the formula for making tite dumplins?
I don't like making dumplins, so when me do mek dem, is just flour, salt, and water. I gradually add water until I think I reach the right mixture.

Of course nuff times I add too much water and have to sprinkle a bit more flour. Sometimes me cook and people say 'those were some tite dumplins'. I guess tight means thick/heavy, etc.

So unno come tell me...how di dumplin ting go.

Re: Tite Dumplin

I can't tell when last I made dumplin (fried/bwile)...but, yeah, you're probably over-kneading. Do you allow your dough to rest?
