Recipe(tried): Old Fashioned Chicken & Dumplings

Dear Carol, This recipe has been used in my family for many years. In this area they are called "sliders". You can freeze them or only make half the recipe. Good Luck!

Old Fashioned Chicken & Dumplings

1- whole chicken, cooked & boned
1- large can chicken broth
3 1/3 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder (heaping)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup solid Crisco
1- cup milk
2- eggs, beaten

Combine flour, baking powder, salt. Cut in Crisco. Add milk and eggs. Mix well. Roll out very thin. Cut into small squares. I use a pizza cutter. Sprinkle flour on a sheet pan. Place one layer of dumplings, then place of sheet of wax paper on top, then sprinkle flour and add another layer of dumplings. Repeat until all dumplings are cut out.

Bring broth to a rolling boil. I usually add a stick of butter, salt & pepper at this point. Drop dumplings one by one into boiling broth. When dumplings are done they drop to the bottom. Do not stir unless necessary. I usually use a spatula and bring them up from the bottom. Add cooked chicken when dumplings are almost done.

Enjoy!
