Homemade dumplings cook in the broth from a whole chicken. Delicious.
Ingredients
1 Whole chicken
Salt and Black Pepper
Dumplings:
2 C. of flour
3 Tbs. of baking powder
1 tsp. of salt
3 Tbs. of lard or shortening
1 egg, beaten well
1 C. of whole milk
Directions
Cut the chicken up into quarters and place in a pot and cover with water. Simmer the chicken until tender. When the chicken is tender, add the salt and black pepper to taste. You can leave the bones in or take the meat off the bone; it's up to you. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and the salt. Cut in the lard or shortening and mix in the egg and milk. Drop the dumplings by spoonfuls into the pot of chicken and broth and cook for 15 minutes or until the dumplings are done
