Directions:
Directions:
Simmer chicken in broth and water for about 2 hours or until tender. remove chicken from bones and if desired add to broth or serve on the side. I usually strain the broth first before adding chicken back into the pot.

Dumplings
Break eggs in pan, add oil and beat in to blend. Add salt and chicken broth. Add mixture to flour to make soft dough. Roll out on floured cloth. Leave on cloth to dry until chicken broth is ready, or for about 45 minutes.. I like to slice these wide and drop them slowly into boiling chicken broth, they take about 15 minutes to cook . Serve with either the chicken on the side, chicken in the broth or serve with separately fried chicken on the side.
