Ingredients:

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder , scant
  • 1 tbsp crisco
  • 1 tsp crisco
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch pepper
  • 3/4 cup water

Directions:

  1. Mix the first 6 ingredients together until combined. Slowly add the water until you form a dough. You may have to add more or less water to form the ball.
  2. Roll out the dumpling dough on a floured surface thin and cut into bite size pieces.
  3. Drop them one at a time into simmering chicken/broth. She would always drop a few then wait a bit, then drop a few more. She said this kept them from sticking together in the end. After they are all added, give a gentle stir (once or twice around the pot, then leave it alone).
  4. Let the dumplings simmer in the chicken/broth mixture until they float to the top (about 15 minutes or so). I have let them simmer a longer, and that's fine. She would taste the broth one last time after the dumplings were done for seasoning before we got to eat them!
