You can fry these in a skillet or you can choose to do them in a deep fryer. Honestly, I do them in a deep fryer. Allow the oil to heat to about degrees. Firstly, sift the flour and add the salt, baking powder, sugar, cornmeal and allspice. Whisk together. Add the room temperature butter and use your hand to spread it evenly. Secondly, add the vanilla extract and the milk or water and knead into a ball. Cover the dough with a damp kitchen cloth or plastic wrap for about 30 minutes.
Fourthly, heat oil in a large skillet. Add each festival into the heated oil and fry on both sides fro about 8 to 10 minutes or until each festival is golden brown. Enjoy these Jamaican Festivals which are crispy on the outside and soft and sweet on the inside.
I hope you will love them as much as how I love them. Please let me know what you think about these Jamaican Festivals in the comment section below and of course 5 stars if you love it. As an Amazon Associate and member of other affiliate programs, I earn from qualifying purchases.

Another difference between festival and fried dumplings is the addition of spices.
There are some festival recipes that include spices like cinnamon or vanilla, however I prefer to make my festival with simple ingredients. Never get nervous about making Jamaican Festivals again. Watch as I prepare the dough, shape them and fry them nice and golden brown without the excess oil some festivals tend to have.

The children thoroughly enjoyed them and all two dozen of them were finished before I even got a chance to take a pic to send to you. Heyyy Dahlia! If you and the kids love shrimp, you should try my Crispy Fried Shrimp. Let me know how it goes!!
Please say hi to them. Your email address will not be published. Fun and Oh-So-Festive! August 6th is Jamaican Independence Day. Slightly sweet and very moreish fried dumplings, called festival, from Jamaica, these are traditionally served with jerk meats.
Feel free to use the recipe as a blueprint, making it once and tweaking accordingly if the festival of your memories is slightly different. I needed a half cup of water to bring the dough together, and they came out crisp on the outside but dense and soft on the inside. If you make this recipe, snap a photo and hashtag it LeitesCulinaria. We'd love to see your creations on Instagram , Facebook , and Twitter. Pretty much novice at fried foods and I have a big family so I doubled the recipe and added more sugar, cause we like it sweet.
They were really dense, but when I asked my kids, they gave it 2 thumbs up. I will definitely make this again when I make Jerk chicken. Thanks so much for taking the time to let us know. Totally agree with Mandy.
Too much cornmeal. It should be about a quarter cup to a half cup cornmeal to one cup of flour. Thanks, Mandy. There are as many versions of this as there are cooks!! How much cornmeal do you usually add? These are very good!
Let sit for some time before frying. Came out perfect each time. Magnificent, Nicola! Love the similarities and appreciate you sharing your version. Looking forward to trying your tweaks!
