Ujeqe lwe mpama (Steamed Dumplings) 125ml (1/2 cup) mealie meal 500ml (2 cups) flour 125ml (1/2 cup) sugar pinch salt 10ml (2t) baking powder 450ml cold water Steam mealie meal in a little water and stir with a fork till it forms crumbs. Mix all ingredients together to form a firm but pliable dough. Use a 3 legged cast iron pot placed in a hole on a coal stove, or a thick bottomed aluminium pot with water to cover only the bottom of the pot. Put a plate upside down on the bottom of the pot, or criss-cross the bottom with strips of wood. Bring the water to boil. Take enough dough to fill your hand and paste it against the side of the pot until all the dough is used. Cook for about 30 minutes. Serve with milk or meat, even with tea. - the plate or strips of wood will prevent the dough from falling into the water if it slips off the side. The dough will fall off if the pot is greasy.- Elmarie
