Ujeqe Steamed Zulu Dumpling Recipe
Ingredients
2
1/2 cups bread flour
2
tablespoons unsalted butter
2
large eggs
1
sachet instant yeast
1
cup warm water
1
teaspoon white sugar
1/2
teaspoon salt
Directions
In
a bowl add water, yeast and sugar, let stand 3 minutes. In a large bowl, sift
dry ingredients together. Beat eggs into yeast mixture and stir gradually into
the dry mixture. Add enough additional water if needed to make a stiff dough
that doesn't stick to the sides of the bowl.
With
damp hands, shape dough into a semi-flat circle, and place into a greased
steamer. Steam until cooked through, about 45 minutes. Dumpling is done when a
knife stuck into the center comes out clean. Serve with any dish!
